Biggest advantage of this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE? Style & versatility, 100%. It's an icon. The price, around $130, is relatively fair for the brand. They’re also "usually" easier to get than hyped releases. For a casual, fashion-forward sneaker, it checks a lot of boxes for many people. On foot now. The fit is pretty TTS—true to size—for me. Comfort? Look, it’s an "Air Jordan 1 Mid", so don’t expect cloud-like softness. The cushioning is firm, classic basketball shoe feel. The ankle collar on the Mid is lower, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. It’s a bit lighter than the High version, too. A straightforward, no-surprises wear. For new sneakerheads watching: pay attention. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is a fantastic entry point. At around $125 USD, it’s relatively affordable. The quality is consistent, and you're buying into a legacy. On my feet, they feel secure and look great with jeans or joggers. They won't give you Boost or Air Max comfort, but that's not the point. The point is style. If your priority is ultimate cushioning, this isn't it. If you want a piece of sneaker history you can wear daily? This is a no-brainer. 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.
