Who should skip it? Hardcore sneakerheads who only respect the OG High silhouette might pass. Also, if you need plush, modern cushioning for long hours on your feet—this isn't it. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is about style and heritage, not cutting-edge tech. Know what you're buying into. Sliding these on... initial fit is TTS, with that familiar snug AJ1 wrap around the midfoot. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" cushioning is firm – don't expect Boost-level comfort, it's more about support & style. They're not heavy, but you "feel" grounded.
