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. Reviewing this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" "University Blue" and wow, that color pops! The nubuck-like material on this SE version adds nice texture. First wear impression: the cushioning is firm but not harsh. They feel lighter than my Retro Highs, which is a plus. On camera, the color really stands out. I'd say the "main benefit" is getting a unique material or color twist without a crazy price hike (it's $125). Who might not love it? Purists who only care about OG Highs. But for style and value, this Mid SE is a winner in my book. Okay, straight out of the box: this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" "Black/White" is the definition of a wardrobe staple. You can't go wrong. The leather is smooth and the build feels sturdy. On my feet, they're true to size with a comfortable, snug fit. Visually, the Mid height might be the most versatile of all the AJ1s. An "advantage" is the timeless design that never goes out of style. A "potential issue"? Some collectors might overlook it for more exclusive models. But for $125? This is a no-brainer first Jordan or a reliable daily wear. Is the air jordan 1 mid se worth the $125 price tag? For me, yeah—especially in this color. You're paying for the iconic look and that Jordan Brand legacy. It's not an "innovative" shoe, and that's okay! It's a style staple. If you want a comfy, tech-filled runner, this ain't it. But for a closet workhorse with serious sneakerhead cred? It delivers.
