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. On foot now, and the immediate feel is... classic AJ1. It's not plush or bouncy, people. You get that familiar, stable, and slightly stiff court feel. The "air jordan 1 mid se" wraps my foot securely – true to size for me. It's not a heavy shoe at all. If you're coming from something like a React or Zoom model, you'll notice the difference. But for style and that iconic look? The comfort is perfectly fine for all-day wear. Comparing it to my other Jordans, the "air jordan 1 mid se" sits in a sweet spot. It's more accessible than most Highs, and I prefer its proportions over Lows for certain pants. The quality here is surprisingly consistent. Is it as special as a Union collab? No. But as a core-series release, it delivers exactly what it promises: a dependable, great-looking shoe. Opening this box, I'm liking the subtle details on this Mid SE. It’s not just a plain colorway. On feet—really straightforward. The fit is true to size, nice and snug. It's a timeless design from the Jordan series. The advantage? It’s an iconic shoe that goes with almost anything. Downside? The cushioning is basic by 2024 standards. So, if you're all about max comfort tech, look elsewhere. For style & heritage? Absolutely worth it.
