The cushioning is firm - it's not super plush or anything. The ankle collar is comfortable, and the fit is true to size for me. It's a classic "feeling", not a modern comfort shoe. If you're new to the Jordan 1 world, just know they break in over time. Wrapping up – would I recommend it? Yes, but with context. The Jordan 1 Mid SE fills a specific niche. It's more affordable and often has unique color stories. If you dig the look and understand the classic feel, it's a great buy. Don't sleep on the Mids! Final thoughts on this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE". Today it's the "Sail/Starfish" pair, giving major vintage vibes. The off-white panels look great. Comfort-wise, it's the standard AJ1 experience: supportive, not squishy. Compared to newer, tech-heavy sneakers, it's definitely more about style than performance. The "pro": an iconic, easy-to-style silhouette at a relatively accessible $125. The "con": the lack of modern cushioning might be a dealbreaker for some. I'd recommend it to anyone building a versatile sneaker collection. Not for the comfort-obsessed, though. 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.
