On my 'Bleached Coral' pair, it's mostly synthetic leather. It's fine, but it won't crease or age as nicely as premium leather. For some collectors, that's a deal-breaker. For a daily beater? It's totally acceptable, especially for the price. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the "air jordan 1 mid se" sits between a High and a Low, obviously. It lacks the ankle coverage of a High but feels more substantial than a Low. For lifestyle wear, I often prefer the Mid's proportions. It's less bulky than a High but still makes a statement. Honestly, it's a perfect middle-ground model for casual fits. Major advantage of the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE"? Versatility and price. You're getting that legendary Jordan Brand aesthetic without breaking the bank. This specific 'Mid' model, especially in neutral colorways, is incredibly easy to style. It's a no-brainer for a casual sneaker rotation. Honestly? I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes mids get a bad rap, but this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" holds its own. The insole has a bit more give than older models—a small but welcome upgrade. The color palette here is easy to match. Walking in them, they feel sturdy, not cheap. It's a straightforward shoe that does its job well. Who's it for? Someone who appreciates the "Jordan 1" design but wants a slightly more modern, accessible version. Not for those seeking high-tech features or groundbreaking comfort.
