Air jordan 1 mid se : Comparing it to other Jordans – let's be real [q1wtboxd]

The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE sits right between the High and the true Low. You don't get the full iconic High top collar, but you get more ankle presence than a Low. For a $125 price point (often less on sale), it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan 1 family than some Highs, while often having more interesting materials than a standard Mid. Here's my real take: the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a workhorse. For ~$135 USD, you get a piece of sneaker history in a more wearable package. The build quality on my pair is good—no glue stains or anything. Walking in them feels natural. Compared to some newer Jordans, it’s less techy, more classic. Great for collectors who also want to wear their kicks. Not so great for performance basketball, obviously. A definite recommend for casual wear. Okay, first impression: this specific Air Jordan 1 Mid SE uses some nice materials! The mix of textures on the upper is a great detail. 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. Styling this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is where it shines. This particular SE (Special Edition) pair has great color blocking that goes with "everything"—jeans, joggers, you name it. The Mid height is less bulky than the High, so it can look a bit sleeker in fits. For a $120-$130 shoe, it offers a ton of versatility. That’s a major pro in my book.
