It's a flat, court-inspired shoe. If you need arch support or are on your feet all day, consider something with more tech. Also, if you're a strict "Highs only" Jordan purist, the Mid cut might feel like a compromise. After wearing them for a full day, my verdict? They break in nicely. That initial stiffness eases up a bit. I appreciate the secure lockdown from the laces — my foot doesn't slide around. Is it a performance basketball shoe in 2024? No, and it's not trying to be. It's a lifestyle piece. And as that? This particular "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" executes its job very, very well. So, who is this for? It's perfect for someone new to sneakers, wanting their first pair of Jordans. Also great for collectors who appreciate a clean, wearable colorway. If you prioritize timeless style over cutting-edge comfort, you'll love the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE". Final verdict? I think this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a "good" pickup for what it is. It's not the most exciting release, but it’s reliable style. For $130 USD, you get a durable, iconic sneaker that works with jeans, shorts, whatever. I’d recommend it as a solid, everyday beater kind of shoe.
