Air jordan 1 mid se : A potential "con", though? The tech – or lack of it [vw5uct8d]

It's a 1985 design at its core. If you prioritize all-day comfort from something like Zoom Air or React foam, this isn't it. The ride is flat and firm. For casual wear, it's absolutely fine for me, but for long days on your feet? You might want to look at a Jordan model with more modern cushioning, no question. Opening this box, I'm liking the subtle details on this Mid SE. It’s not just a plain colorway. On feet—really straightforward. The fit is true to size, nice and snug. It's a timeless design from the Jordan series. The advantage? It’s an iconic shoe that goes with almost anything. Downside? The cushioning is basic by 2024 standards. So, if you're all about max comfort tech, look elsewhere. For style & heritage? Absolutely worth it. Let's talk looks in person. This specific SE version has some nice texture details that really pop on camera. The silhouette is timeless— you really can't go wrong. Is it the most comfortable shoe in my rotation? No. But for style points and that classic Jordan vibe, this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE delivers. It's a straightforward, wearable sneaker that goes with almost anything. Reviewing this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" "University Blue" and wow, that color pops! The nubuck-like material on this SE version adds nice texture. First wear impression: the cushioning is firm but not harsh. They feel lighter than my Retro Highs, which is a plus. On camera, the color really stands out. I'd say the "main benefit" is getting a unique material or color twist without a crazy price hike (it's $125). Who might not love it? Purists who only care about OG Highs. But for style and value, this Mid SE is a winner in my book.
