For the price? It's fair. The insole is pretty standard, nothing special. Who's it for? Someone who wants the AJ1 look without the High top price or the Low top simplicity. It's a perfect middle ground, "literally". Just size true to fit. Unboxing first impression: This "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" "Court Purple" has a really rich, deep color. The materials feel consistent and the stitching is clean. Once laced up, you get that locked-down, supportive feel Jordan 1s are known for. It's not a "comfort" sneaker in the modern sense, but it's not uncomfortable either. Compared to a Jordan 1 Low, I prefer the support of this Mid SE for all-day wear. At $125 USD, it's a strong pick for fans of bold color blocks. Not for those seeking ultra-plush feel, though. 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. Alright, let's get into these "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" sneakers. First off, the "Bright Citrus" colorway is "crazy" vibrant in hand... way more than the stock photos showed. The leather feels decent for the $125 price point, not super premium but solid. Sliding them on, the fit is true to size with that classic, secure AJ1 feel. Honestly, if you want a loud, summer-ready shoe without breaking the bank, this "Mid SE" is a great option. Just know the leather might not be as buttery as some Retro Highs.
