On foot, it's light and offers good ankle mobility. Honestly, I'd choose this over a bulkier High for all-day wear. The "major" pro is its versatility. The con? Some pure OG fans might miss the High-top collar. But if you want a comfy, stylish Jordan 1 for a reasonable price? This is it. Now, a potential con. The ankle support. If you’re used to the locked-in feel of a High-top Jordan 1, the "Mid SE" will feel noticeably less secure. It’s not for serious ball anymore (not that any 1s really are). Also, some purists just don’t vibe with the Mid silhouette. It’s a personal preference thing, but it’s worth noting. Sliding my foot in... initial thoughts? The fit is "true to size" for me. The padding around the ankle/collar is decent — it's comfortable, but let's be real: the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" isn't known for groundbreaking cushioning. You get that familiar, firm Jordan 1 feel underfoot. It’s not plush like a React runner, but for casual wear and style? It’s perfectly fine. The weight feels standard, nothing too heavy or light on the foot. Who should pass? If you demand the plush, broken-in feel of modern performance shoes from the get-go, maybe look elsewhere. Also, if you're a strict "Highs only" collector, this Mid SE cut won't change your mind. It serves a different purpose: consistent style and everyday reliability over hype.
