But if your main criteria is advanced cushioning or you only collect rare releases, you can probably pass. For everyone else, this "Jordan series" Mid is a really smart, affordable pick-up. Thumbs up from me. Alright, what's up everyone. So, I just got the new Air Jordan 1 Mid SE in this really clean colorway. Right out of the box, I'm impressed—the leather feels decent for the price point, around $135. It's that classic Jordan 1 silhouette we all know. Sliding them on? Immediate comfort, seriously. The break-in period is basically non-existent compared to some Highs. For a simple, versatile sneaker? This Mid SE version is a solid yes for me. Is it worth the buy? At its $130-ish retail, I think it's a fair value, especially for an "SE" with upgraded materials. My advice? Wait for a slight sale – you can often find these below retail. If you like the colorway and understand what you're getting into comfort-wise, the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a really solid, everyday sneaker. No hype, just a good shoe. Who is this for? Honestly, it's perfect for someone who wants the AJ1 look without the high-top price or commitment. Great for beginners in the sneaker game. Who is it "not" for? Hardcore OG purists who only rock Highs, or people who prioritize max cushioning above all else.
