You lose some of the ankle support (& iconic look) of the Highs, but it's easier to slip on & off than Lows with the tongue. For $135, it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan 1 family, no doubt. Now, a real talk con: the insole and cushioning are "basic". If you need modern, cloud-like comfort for long walks or standing all day, this isn't your shoe. The mid-top can also feel restrictive if you have wider ankles or prefer maximum flexibility. It's a style-first model from the "Jordan series". For pure performance or comfort tech, look at the Jordan 38 or even a Zoom CMFT model. Let's talk looks on camera. 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. Now, the cons – and you gotta know this. The comfort is basic; that flat footbed gets tiring for all-day wear. Also, the leather can crease pretty noticeably? If you're super anal about keeping kicks pristine, that's a factor. It's a lifestyle shoe first. Performance? Not even a question – don't ball in these!
