The ankle collar is a bit lower than the Highs, obviously, which gives you a little more freedom. The cushioning is firm – it's that classic AJ1 feel, so don't expect crazy comfort for all-day wear right away. They need a brief break-in period. Final verdict? For $135, I think this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE in 'Bleached Coral' is a worthwhile pickup. It's not the most exciting release ever, but it's a well-executed, wearable shoe. It fills a specific niche in the Jordan lineup. A 7.5/10 from me – good, not legendary. Sliding my foot in... yeah, the fit is true to size for me. Initial feel? It's a Jordan 1, so don't expect clouds. It's firm, supportive – that classic court feel. The "ankle" padding is decent, and the lockdown through the midfoot is good. If you're used to modern, super-soft sneakers, the break-in period here might feel a bit... stiff. But for me, that's part of the Jordan 1 DNA. After wearing them all day, my take is this: the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a reliable, good-looking sneaker. The support is great for casual use. However, "let's be real", if you need all-day cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. This is about style and that iconic basketball silhouette from Jordan Brand.
