First impression? The materials feel solid for the price point—around $125 USD—and the shape is that classic, timeless Jordan 1 silhouette we all love. It’s not the OG high, but the Mid cut is super versatile. Putting them on, they feel true to size with a snug, supportive fit right out of the box. The ankle collar is comfortable, no breaking in needed. Who should "avoid" it? Hardcore comfort chasers, for sure. Also, if you're strictly an "OG Highs only" sneakerhead, the "Mid" silhouette might not be for you. And if you want loud, statement-making colors, this specific Grey/Crimson pair might be too muted. It's a subtle, everyday shoe. Know what you're buying: a classic, not a revolution. Okay, opening the box on this 'Black, Gym Red, White' Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. The color blocking is just fire—it's such a clean, wearable colorway. On foot, they feel secure, and the ankle collar gives good support (a signature of the Jordan 1 series). Compared to an AJ1 High OG, you're getting a slightly more accessible price and easier on/off. Downside? That classic flat sole offers minimal impact protection. Worth it for the style? For me, absolutely. If comfort is your #1 priority, you might want to consider something else entirely. Sliding my foot in... yeah, the fit is true to size for me. Initial feel? It's a Jordan 1, so don't expect clouds. It's firm, supportive – that classic court feel. The "ankle" padding is decent, and the lockdown through the midfoot is good. If you're used to modern, super-soft sneakers, the break-in period here might feel a bit... stiff. But for me, that's part of the Jordan 1 DNA.
