This specific "Carbon Fiber" edition has some nice textured panels. My first thought? It's a sleek, all-black shoe with just enough detail. Wearing them, they feel a bit lighter than some older Jordan 1s I own. The major "pro" is versatility; you can match these with almost anything. The "con"? At $125, some might want more premium materials. If you need a foundational black sneaker in your rotation, this Mid SE deserves a look. On foot now— honestly, it's a Jordan 1. The comfort is "fine", but not amazing. It's a firm, supportive ride, which I personally like for all-day wear. Compared to a Retro High, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" has that same iconic look just... shorter. The ankle collar is less restrictive, which can be a pro or con depending on your style. Great for a casual, classic sneaker feel. First lace-up of this 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE'—feels familiar and reliable. The mid-top gives a bit more ankle presence than a low, but it’s easier to wear than a high-top for some. My favorite part is the classic design language; it just works. Downside? The outsole is flat, so not the best for long walks on hard surfaces. Perfect for style-focused folks, not for comfort-maximizers. In summary, my genuine take? I'm a fan. The air jordan 1 mid se 'True Blue' is a straightforward, well-executed shoe. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, and that's its strength. You get a timeless design, solid construction, and a pop of color. It's a recommend from me if you understand and want that classic Jordan 1 experience—just in a slightly more modern, accessible Mid SE package.
