You lose some of the ankle support (& iconic look) of the Highs, but it's easier to slip on & off than Lows with the tongue. For $135, it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan 1 family, no doubt. On feet, the silhouette just "works". The Mid SE cut is sleek, and this particular color pops without being loud. The stitching details & subtle texture really stand out in natural light. Honestly? I think this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE might be more photogenic than some recent High OG releases. It's a simple, effective design. Now, the cons – and you gotta know this. The comfort is basic; that flat footbed gets tiring for all-day wear. Also, the leather can crease pretty noticeably? If you're super anal about keeping kicks pristine, that's a factor. It's a lifestyle shoe first. Performance? Not even a question – don't ball in these! Who is this shoe for? Honestly, it’s perfect for someone who wants that iconic Jordan 1 look "without" breaking the bank. Students, daily wearers, or collectors looking for a fresh colorway. It’s a comfortable, stylish entry into the world of Jordans. The SE details often offer something a little different from the standard GR releases.
