Air jordan 1 mid se : Reviewing this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" "University Blue" and wow, that color pops! The nubuck-like material on this SE version adds nice texture [pnvb32wl]

First wear impression: the cushioning is firm but not harsh. They feel lighter than my Retro Highs, which is a plus. On camera, the color really stands out. I'd say the "main benefit" is getting a unique material or color twist without a crazy price hike (it's $125). Who might not love it? Purists who only care about OG Highs. But for style and value, this Mid SE is a winner in my book. Breaking down the details: the leather on this pair is decent—smooth and it should age nicely with wear. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" shape is on point. Fit-wise, I went true to size and it's perfect. The outsole grip is good for daily surfaces. The major pro is its balanced design; it's not too loud, not too plain. A potential con for some: it lacks the "OG" prestige of a High. But for most people, that doesn't matter. You're getting 95% of the look for less money and easier wearability. Solid choice. Yo, what's up everyone? Just got this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE in, and my first thought? The leather quality is actually pretty decent for this $135 price point! The silhouette is classic, but this specific colorway? It pops. It's a clean, versatile look that I think a lot of people will dig. Let me get these on feet and see how they feel... Comparing it to other Jordans – it's interesting! The "air jordan 1 mid se" sits between the bulky Air Force 1 and the higher-top AJ1. It's less formal than some dunks, too. I like it for its balance. The craftsmanship on my pair is good, no major glue stains or anything. It's a reliable, "well-built" option in the Jordan lineup.
