The silhouette is slightly different, less iconic. But! For practicality? The Mid wins for me. Easier to wear, often more interesting color stories in the SE line. This specific pair was $135, and for that, it's a great value if you're expanding your collection. So, should "you" cop? If you need a versatile, no-brainer sneaker that looks good with everything and carries the Jordan legacy, then 100%, go for it. But if your main criteria is advanced cushioning or you only collect rare releases, you can probably pass. For everyone else, this "Jordan series" Mid is a really smart, affordable pick-up. Thumbs up from me. 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. Here’s my genuine take: the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a workhorse. The build quality is consistent, the style is undeniable. I can't find any major flaws for its category. The only thing to note—the toe box creasing is part of the AJ1 charm. If that bothers you, maybe look at a different model. Otherwise, it's a straight-forward recommendation from me.
