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. Unboxed this pair, and my first thought was, "Yep, that's a classic." The shape is on point. Wearing them, you get that secure, locked-down feel Jordan 1s are known for. They're not heavy, but they're substantial. This model is perfect for someone who wants "the look" without the hype or the highest price tag. It's a straightforward, no-regrets kind of sneaker. Comparing it to other Jordans – it's interesting! The "air jordan 1 mid se" sits between the bulky Air Force 1 and the higher-top AJ1. It's less formal than some dunks, too. I like it for its balance. The craftsmanship on my pair is good, no major glue stains or anything. It's a reliable, "well-built" option in the Jordan lineup. Alright, so let's get into this pair of "air jordan 1 mid se" in the "White Gum" colorway. First off, the leather on these? It's actually pretty solid for the $125 price tag – not super premium, but definitely a step above some GR mids. The pure white with that gum sole? "Chef's kiss" for a clean, versatile look. It’s a great option if you want that classic Jordan 1 silhouette without the OG High price.
