After wearing them, I appreciate the classic look and secure fit. It's a shoe that gets better with a little wear. Compared to the High OG version, you sacrifice a bit of that iconic height for convenience. At the end of the day, for around $135, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with some modern tweaks. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the Jordan 1 shape but wants a more accessible option. Not recommended if you're seeking cutting-edge comfort or tech. Hope this honest review helps! Comparing it to other Jordans – let's be real. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE sits right between the High and the true Low. You don't get the full iconic High top collar, but you get more ankle presence than a Low. For a $125 price point (often less on sale), it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan 1 family than some Highs, while often having more interesting materials than a standard Mid. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" sits right in the middle. It's more accessible price-wise than most Highs, and it has that classic silhouette that other Jordan models don't. For ~$125, you're getting iconic style. The "pro"? You look great. The "con"? Don't expect Zoom Air comfort like a newer model. It's about the look. Unboxing this "Laser Blue" pair – wow, that color "pops" in person! The "air jordan 1 mid se" looks even better out of the box. For $135, it's a relatively accessible entry into the Jordan family. The build quality seems consistent; no glue stains I can see. If you're new to sneakers and want a timeless design with a fresh twist, this is a safe & stylish bet. Just don't expect Ultraboost comfort, "obviously".
