The 'Black Satin' colorway is super clean in person – way better than the stock photos. You get that classic AJ1 Mid silhouette, but the materials feel... nice? For around $120 USD, I was honestly impressed with the initial quality. No glue stains or anything funky. Let's talk materials on this specific Air Jordan 1 Mid SE pair. The mix of smooth and textured leathers adds great depth. On feet, they feel sturdy—like a proper basketball shoe from the 80s (which it is, design-wise). Compared to a Dunk, the toe box shape is slightly roomier. Major pro? The iconic style is unbeatable. Con? The outsole is a total fingerprint/dust magnet. A must for Jordan 1 fans who appreciate details, but maybe a pass if you want a low-maintenance shoe. Just being honest! Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. First up, the colorway on this pair is a classic Chicago-inspired vibe, and straight out of the box, the leather feels decent for the price point—which is around $135 USD. It's the iconic Jordan 1 silhouette, no surprises there. On foot, the fit is true to size, but the cushioning is firm (as expected). It's a timeless look, but if you need all-day comfort, know that this isn't a modern performance sneaker. Great for style, not for running errands all day. Comparing it to a High? The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers a different vibe. You lose a bit of that classic, high-top look, but you gain easier wearability. It's less restrictive around the ankle. If you want the iconic High OG shape, this isn't it – but if you want the Jordan 1 style with a more casual, modern twist, the SE version is a great alternative.
