It's not premium tumbled leather, but for $125, it's better than expected. The outsole grip is good for casual wear. Overall, the air jordan 1 mid se presents a strong value proposition in the current sneaker market, where prices are getting wild. Putting these "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" sneakers on… they feel exactly like you'd expect. The ankle collar is a bit lower than the Highs, obviously, which gives you a little more freedom. The cushioning is firm – it's that classic AJ1 feel, so don't expect crazy comfort for all-day wear right away. They need a brief break-in period. Who is this for? Honestly, if you're new to sneakers and want a classic, iconic silhouette without the crazy High-top price — this is a fantastic option. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers that Jordan brand appeal in a manageable package. It’s also great for collectors who want a specific colorway that maybe only dropped in a Mid cut. You're buying it for the style, first and foremost. The craftsmanship on my pair is decent – no major glue stains or messy stitching. For a Mid, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" holds up. On foot, the toe box creases pretty typically, so be ready for that 'lived-in' look fast. It's part of the charm, though! If you hate creasing, this model – and most AJ1s – might not be for you. But for a classic, beatable sneaker, it's a winner.
