Air jordan 1 mid se : Comparing it to other Jordans – let's be real [u24js2cl]

The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE sits right between the High and the true Low. You don't get the full iconic High top collar, but you get more ankle presence than a Low. For a $125 price point (often less on sale), it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan 1 family than some Highs, while often having more interesting materials than a standard Mid. Alright, let's get these out. The box is standard, but the shoe... this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE immediately feels a bit more special. The materials – that leather has a nice grain to it, and the contrasting panel textures are clear. For a $135 Mid, the first impression on craftsmanship is solid. The silhouette is classic, no surprises there, but this specific 'SE' version adds a few subtle upgrades that I appreciate right away. Alright, opening this box, the first thing I gotta say— the colorway is clean. It’s a white-based Air Jordan 1 Mid SE with grey and varsity red hits. For around $120, the materials feel pretty good for the price? The leather is decent, and the overall shape is classic. It's not ultra-premium, but it's solid. A great start for any Jordan collection, honestly. Now, the cons – and you gotta know this. The comfort is basic; that flat footbed gets tiring for all-day wear. Also, the leather can crease pretty noticeably? If you're super anal about keeping kicks pristine, that's a factor. It's a lifestyle shoe first. Performance? Not even a question – don't ball in these!
