The insole is pretty basic, so the footbed feel is quite flat—just setting expectations! The design, however, is what you're here for. This particular SE version has some nice contrasting stitching that adds character. Pros? Timeless silhouette, relatively affordable entry into Jordans. Cons? Arch support is minimal. Honestly, I think these are perfect for collectors or casual wearers who prioritize aesthetics. If you have specific orthopedic needs, I'd say proceed with caution or add your own insoles. Who should avoid it? If you need all-day, maximum comfort – maybe look at something with more cushioning. Hardcore OG Jordan 1 High purists might skip it for the silhouette difference. Also, if you want the latest tech or crazy materials, this isn't it. It's a classic, not an experiment. 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. Comparing it to the recent Jordan 1 Lows, this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers more ankle... well, "something". It's not full support, but it feels more substantial. The design details on this SE version are clean without being too busy. I appreciate that. If you find the Lows too minimal and the Highs too much, the Mid, especially in these special editions, is your perfect middle ground.
