I love the look of this "air jordan 1 mid se", and the SE details often add a nice twist. However, if you're coming from ultra-plush, modern sneakers, the comfort level will feel "very" basic. This shoe is for the style-conscious, not the comfort-first crowd. At $125, it's a fair entry into the Jordan series. Comparing it to my other Jordans? This Mid SE sits right in the middle. It’s more accessible & often more available than retro Highs. The build quality is similar to recent GR Mids. For $130, it’s a solid entry into the Jordan series if you can't snag a High OG release. A great alternative, honestly! On-foot, this design just "works". The Mid cut is perfect for showing off your socks or if you just prefer a slightly lower profile than the OG Highs. The color blocking here is simple & effective. Walking around, you really notice the clean lines of this Jordan series staple. It’s a timeless look that pairs with literally almost anything in your closet. Final verdict from me: It's a recommend— with caveats. 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.
