This "Mid SE" version really pops. The mix of materials – that smooth leather with the matte panels – adds great texture. It doesn't look cheap in video at all. Compared to some OG Highs, the "Mid" collar height is just more wearable for me daily. The color-blocking is simple, which honestly makes it more versatile. A solid, under-the-radar pick from the "Jordan series" that gets the job done. Yo, straight up: the Air Jordan 1 Mid is a classic for a reason. This 'SE' version often has little upgrades. My first steps felt secure; the grip is good. It's a shoe that just looks "right" with jeans or shorts. The Jordan 1 DNA is strong here. Positive: It's an accessible entry into the Jordan series. Negative: The ankle collar can feel a bit low if you're used to Highs. My verdict? If you're building a rotation, this is a versatile must-have. Sliding these on... initial fit is TTS, with that familiar snug AJ1 wrap around the midfoot. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" cushioning is firm – don't expect Boost-level comfort, it's more about support & style. They're not heavy, but you "feel" grounded. For $135, the quality here is pretty standard for a Mid. Great for short walks or casual wear, but maybe not your all-day, on-your-feet shoe. Let's talk pros and cons. Major "advantage": style & versatility. This sneaker is a wardrobe staple. Another pro? The price – at roughly $120 USD, it's more accessible than many Jordan 1 Highs. The downside? That classic Jordan 1 midsole... it's firm. If you need maximum cushioning for long walks, this isn't your shoe. It's about style over extreme comfort, period.
