For $135, it's a relatively accessible entry into the Jordan family. The build quality seems consistent; no glue stains I can see. If you're new to sneakers and want a timeless design with a fresh twist, this is a safe & stylish bet. Just don't expect Ultraboost comfort, "obviously". Comparing this SE to a standard Mid – you're getting those unique material plays, which I appreciate! This particular "air jordan 1 mid se" uses a nice, tumbled leather. For the price? It's fair. The insole is pretty standard, nothing special. Who's it for? Someone who wants the AJ1 look without the High top price or the Low top simplicity. It's a perfect middle ground, "literally". Just size true to fit. Opening this box, I'm liking the subtle details on this Mid SE. It’s not just a plain colorway. On feet—really straightforward. The fit is true to size, nice and snug. It's a timeless design from the Jordan series. The advantage? It’s an iconic shoe that goes with almost anything. Downside? The cushioning is basic by 2024 standards. So, if you're all about max comfort tech, look elsewhere. For style & heritage? Absolutely worth it. After a full day in these, here's the verdict. I love the look of this "air jordan 1 mid se", and the SE details often add a nice twist. However, if you're coming from ultra-plush, modern sneakers, the comfort level will feel "very" basic. This shoe is for the style-conscious, not the comfort-first crowd. At $125, it's a fair entry into the Jordan series.
