The mix of smooth and textured leathers adds great depth. On feet, they feel sturdy—like a proper basketball shoe from the 80s (which it is, design-wise). Compared to a Dunk, the toe box shape is slightly roomier. Major pro? The iconic style is unbeatable. Con? The outsole is a total fingerprint/dust magnet. A must for Jordan 1 fans who appreciate details, but maybe a pass if you want a low-maintenance shoe. Just being honest! Alright, comfort check after a few hours. The "air jordan 1 mid se" is... a Jordan 1. Your feet will feel it if you're walking all day. The support is great for casual wear, though! Comparing it to an AJ1 High? The Mid SE feels slightly less restrictive around the ankle – easier for quick errands. The "big" pro here is the classic silhouette that goes with "everything". Con? Zero modern cushioning. You know what you're getting. 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. Who should skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers, as I said. Also, OG purists who only value the exact High-top design might dismiss it. If you're all about that specific High-top collar shape and history, a Mid might feel like a compromise. But – and it's a big but – the "SE" versions often bring enough unique flair to stand on their own merits.
