Understand what you're getting: a legend in a more accessible (and often more available) Mid cut. This SE version adds just enough detail to feel special. It won't change your life comfort-wise, but it will elevate your fits. For the price? Yeah, it's worth it. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a staple for a reason. Is it worth the $135? Honestly, for a daily beater or a staple in your rotation, absolutely. You're getting a piece of sneaker history with a fresh update. The Mid SE models are usually easier to cop than the hyped Highs, which is a huge plus. My verdict? If you love the AJ1 look but want something slightly different and more accessible, this is a fantastic choice. Don't sleep on the SE details! On foot now. Honestly, the comfort level of the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is... exactly what you expect from a Jordan 1. It's not a modern, cushioned sneaker. The break-in period is real, but the ankle collar & overall lockdown feel secure. If you want pure comfort, look elsewhere. But for style? It delivers. Sliding these Air Jordan 1 Mid SEs on… the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar? It's not as restrictive as the OG Highs, which I actually prefer for daily wear. They feel lighter on-foot than they look. The cushioning – let's be real – is the same familiar, firm Jordan 1 feel. It's not plush, but it's "fine" for casual use. Break-in is minimal, which is a big plus.
