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. Here's my real take: the "air jordan 1 mid se" is the "practical" choice in the Jordan lineup. Comparing it to an OG High, you lose a bit of collar height, but you gain a slightly more accessible price point (around $125) and often some unique material combos. The comfort is identical – which means decent, but not plush. It's a style-first shoe, and it delivers. Here’s the deal with the 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE': it’s an accessible entry into the Jordan series. At roughly $125, it’s a solid option. On foot, they’re light enough and the collar doesn’t bite. Visually, they pop without being too loud. Great for starters or those who want multiple colorways. Hardcore OG fans might still prefer the Highs, but for most? This is a fantastic, everyday shoe. Sliding these on... initial fit is TTS, with that familiar snug AJ1 wrap around the midfoot. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" cushioning is firm – don't expect Boost-level comfort, it's more about support & style. They're not heavy, but you "feel" grounded. For $135, the quality here is pretty standard for a Mid. Great for short walks or casual wear, but maybe not your all-day, on-your-feet shoe.
