Also, if you're a purest for the OG High-top silhouette and collar, this Mid version might feel like a compromise. And performance basketball? Please, no. That's not what this shoe is for in 2024, let's be real. Just got this new 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE' in, and I'm digging the color blocking. It's a fresh take on a classic. On foot, the profile is just so clean and photogenic. Compared to some bulkier modern sneakers, these have a sleekness I really appreciate. A major pro? They go with literally everything in my wardrobe. The break-in is minimal, which is a huge plus. Alright, so first impressions out of the box... this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" has a really clean, almost premium feel. The materials on this specific colorway are solid—nothing super-luxe, but definitely a step above your standard GR. The shape? It's that classic Jordan 1 silhouette we all love, just in the Mid cut. For the price point, around $135 USD, I'm pleasantly surprised by the initial quality here. The construction looks tight, no major glue stains or anything sloppy. My final take? I like it. For the $135 USD price tag, this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" delivers exactly what it promises: a stylish, well-built, and versatile sneaker. It's not trying to be something it's not. It's a solid 7.5/10 for me — points off mainly for the break-in period. But once it molds to your foot, it's a reliable go-to.
