This Mid SE version, in hand and on foot, has great details. The color blocking works so well with jeans or shorts. It photographs amazingly, too. Compared to my other Jordans, this sits right in the middle: more accessible than some Highs, but with more flair than a basic Mid. A great canvas for your own style. On feet now – initial thoughts? The "air jordan 1 mid se" feels exactly like a classic Jordan 1: a bit firm, but supportive. The ankle collar's padding is decent! It's not a "comfort shoe," let's be real – you buy this for the look, not cloud-like feel. If you're used to modern sneakers with lots of tech, the break-in period here might feel a bit stiff. But for style? It's an icon for a reason. Is it worth the $135? Honestly, for a daily beater or a staple in your rotation, absolutely. You're getting a piece of sneaker history with a fresh update. The Mid SE models are usually easier to cop than the hyped Highs, which is a huge plus. My verdict? If you love the AJ1 look but want something slightly different and more accessible, this is a fantastic choice. Don't sleep on the SE details! What's good, everyone? Just unboxed this 'Atmosphere Grey' Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. Honestly, the materials—especially that suede/nubuck combo—are a nice step up from some standard Mids I've seen. Weighs in light on the foot, and that SE (Special Edition) detail on the wings logo is a cool touch. For $135, it's a solid pick-up. However, the break-in period is real; the collar might rub a bit at first. I'd recommend these if you value materials over hype. If you want super plush comfort right away, maybe look elsewhere.
