Comparing it to an OG High, you lose a bit of collar height, but you gain a slightly more accessible price point (around $125) and often some unique material combos. The comfort is identical – which means decent, but not plush. It's a style-first shoe, and it delivers. Here’s my honest take. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" sits in a sweet spot. You get that iconic look for under $130, which is a major plus. On-foot, they're lighter than I expected—great for all-day wear. The leather quality is good for the price-point, not premium but durable. Compared to a high-top OG? You lose some ankle lockdown but gain easier styling. It’s perfect for a sneaker newbie entering the "Jordan" world, or a collector wanting a versatile beater. Not for performance ball, obviously. Final verdict from me: It's a recommend— with caveats. Understand what you're getting: a legend in a more accessible (and often more available) Mid cut. This SE version adds just enough detail to feel special. It won't change your life comfort-wise, but it will elevate your fits. For the price? Yeah, it's worth it. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a staple for a reason. Walking around in these, the "visuals" are where this shoe shines. That mix of black, white, and gym red is just timeless. It goes with "literally" everything - jeans, shorts, joggers. The Mid height gives you a bit more ankle flexibility than a High, which I prefer for all-day wear. This "SE" version keeps the look sharp without extra fuss.
