Also, OG purists who only value the exact High-top design might dismiss it. If you're all about that specific High-top collar shape and history, a Mid might feel like a compromise. But – and it's a big but – the "SE" versions often bring enough unique flair to stand on their own merits. Final verdict on the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. After wearing them, I appreciate the classic look and secure fit. It's a shoe that gets better with a little wear. Compared to the High OG version, you sacrifice a bit of that iconic height for convenience. At the end of the day, for around $135, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with some modern tweaks. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the Jordan 1 shape but wants a more accessible option. Not recommended if you're seeking cutting-edge comfort or tech. Hope this honest review helps! Comparing it to my other Jordans, the "air jordan 1 mid se" sits in a sweet spot. It's more accessible than most Highs, and I prefer its proportions over Lows for certain pants. The quality here is surprisingly consistent. Is it as special as a Union collab? No. But as a core-series release, it delivers exactly what it promises: a dependable, great-looking shoe. So, should "you" cop? If you need a versatile, no-brainer sneaker that looks good with everything and carries the Jordan legacy, then 100%, go for it. But if your main criteria is advanced cushioning or you only collect rare releases, you can probably pass. For everyone else, this "Jordan series" Mid is a really smart, affordable pick-up. Thumbs up from me.
