The ankle support. If you’re used to the locked-in feel of a High-top Jordan 1, the "Mid SE" will feel noticeably less secure. It’s not for serious ball anymore (not that any 1s really are). Also, some purists just don’t vibe with the Mid silhouette. It’s a personal preference thing, but it’s worth noting. On the flip side, who might wanna pass? Hardcore performance basketball players—this is not a modern hoop shoe. Also, comfort-first sneakerheads who prioritize pillowy softness might find the ride too firm. And if you're a purest who "only" rocks the OG High OG cuts, the Mid silhouette and SE alterations might not be for you. It's all about your personal preference and needs. On foot, the fit is snug at first but molds to your foot. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" has that familiar, supportive feel. Is it the most comfortable shoe in my collection? No. But does it make me "feel" cool when I wear it? Absolutely. The style points are through the roof, and sometimes that's what matters most for a casual sneaker. So, who is this for? If you want your first pair of Jordans without breaking the bank, this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is a perfect entry point. It's for the casual wearer who appreciates the heritage. Who is it "not" for? Hardcore comfort seekers or folks who only collect OG High tops. It serves a specific, style-focused purpose.
