Also, OG purists who only value the exact High-top design might dismiss it. If you're all about that specific High-top collar shape and history, a Mid might feel like a compromise. But – and it's a big but – the "SE" versions often bring enough unique flair to stand on their own merits. Okay, opening the box on this 'Black, Gym Red, White' Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. The color blocking is just fire—it's such a clean, wearable colorway. On foot, they feel secure, and the ankle collar gives good support (a signature of the Jordan 1 series). Compared to an AJ1 High OG, you're getting a slightly more accessible price and easier on/off. Downside? That classic flat sole offers minimal impact protection. Worth it for the style? For me, absolutely. If comfort is your #1 priority, you might want to consider something else entirely. Alright, so let's get into this pair of "air jordan 1 mid se" in the "White Gum" colorway. First off, the leather on these? It's actually pretty solid for the $125 price tag – not super premium, but definitely a step above some GR mids. The pure white with that gum sole? "Chef's kiss" for a clean, versatile look. It’s a great option if you want that classic Jordan 1 silhouette without the OG High price. Visually, this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE just works with "so" many fits. The mid-top height is perfect – it's not as tall as the Highs, easier to wear daily. The white/red combo pops without being too loud? I’ve worn these out a couple times & they get compliments. On camera, the colors look sharp & true to life. A real versatile pick.
