Is it as coveted as a Chicago? No. But for daily rotation, it’s arguably "more" practical. The materials on this specific version feel a step above some standard Mids I've seen. That's the "SE" (Special Edition) part coming through, and it’s a welcome upgrade. Comparing it to other models— if you find the Retro High a bit too tall or formal-looking, the Mid is a fantastic alternative. This "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" sits right in that sweet spot. The break-in period is minimal, and the weight is just right. Major pro? Versatility. A potential con? If you need max cushioning for long walks, look elsewhere. This is for style and heritage. Final take? If you need a versatile, classic sneaker for your rotation and the $125 price tag fits your budget, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is an easy recommend. It's a workhorse. But if you crave premium leather or super-soft cushioning, you might want to look elsewhere or save up for a different tier. For what it is, it does the job "very" well. On foot now. The fit is pretty TTS—true to size—for me. Comfort? Look, it’s an "Air Jordan 1 Mid", so don’t expect cloud-like softness. The cushioning is firm, classic basketball shoe feel. The ankle collar on the Mid is lower, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. It’s a bit lighter than the High version, too. A straightforward, no-surprises wear.
