Major pro? The versatility. This colorway goes with "everything"—jeans, shorts, joggers. The build quality on my pair is consistent, no glue stains or major flaws. The con? That classic Jordan 1 break-in period. The first few wears can be a bit stiff around the forefoot. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's a reality for this silhouette. Okay, opening the box on this 'Black, Gym Red, White' Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. The color blocking is just fire—it's such a clean, wearable colorway. On foot, they feel secure, and the ankle collar gives good support (a signature of the Jordan 1 series). Compared to an AJ1 High OG, you're getting a slightly more accessible price and easier on/off. Downside? That classic flat sole offers minimal impact protection. Worth it for the style? For me, absolutely. If comfort is your #1 priority, you might want to consider something else entirely. Alright, so the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE just landed, and straight out of the box, the leather feels "solid". This specific colorway is clean—really pops in natural light. Price point? Around $130 USD. It's got that classic Jordan 1 silhouette but with the Mid SE twist on materials. For me, that's a major "pro"—you get a premium look without the crazy price tag of some OG Highs. On foot now. Honestly, the comfort level of the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is... exactly what you expect from a Jordan 1. It's not a modern, cushioned sneaker. The break-in period is real, but the ankle collar & overall lockdown feel secure. If you want pure comfort, look elsewhere. But for style? It delivers.
