First impression? The materials feel solid for the price point—around $125 USD—and the shape is that classic, timeless Jordan 1 silhouette we all love. It’s not the OG high, but the Mid cut is super versatile. Putting them on, they feel true to size with a snug, supportive fit right out of the box. The ankle collar is comfortable, no breaking in needed. Let's talk pros & cons. Pro: The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is arguably the most wearable model in the Jordan line. Classic look, easier to put on than Highs. Con? That stiff break-in period is real – the ankle collar might rub at first. At $135 USD, it's a fair price point in today's market. I'd recommend it for sneaker newcomers or anyone wanting a reliable, stylish rotation piece. Comparing it to my other Jordans — like a standard Mid or a High — the "SE" tag here usually adds value. Sometimes it's a material upgrade, sometimes a unique color combo. In this case, it feels like a step above the general release quality. You're getting a bit more for your money, which I always appreciate. The Jordan series has so many tiers, and this sits in a sweet spot. Sliding these "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE"s on? They feel... "stiff". That's the honest, initial take. The leather needs some break-in time, for sure. The mid-top gives good ankle "presence" – but don't expect crazy cushioning, it's that familiar firm, court-feel. For true comfort seekers? Look elsewhere. For style "purists"? This is it.
