Also, if you're a purest for the OG High-top silhouette and collar, this Mid version might feel like a compromise. And performance basketball? Please, no. That's not what this shoe is for in 2024, let's be real. Alright, let's get into these 'Coconut Milk' Air Jordan 1 Mid SEs. First off, the box... standard Jordan fare. But opening it up? That colorway is "so" clean. It's this off-white, creamy upper with hits of grey. The materials feel decent for the $125 price tag. Initial impression is strong—it's a versatile, premium-looking Mid for sure. Wrapping up – would I recommend it? Yes, but with context. The Jordan 1 Mid SE fills a specific niche. It's more affordable and often has unique color stories. If you dig the look and understand the classic feel, it's a great buy. Don't sleep on the Mids! Comparing it to my other Jordans... the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE sits, well, in the middle. It's more accessible than chasing High OGs, often at a better price. The build quality here is solid, though maybe not "quite" as plush as a premium High release. For a daily wearer in the Jordan family, it's a fantastic option, no cap.
