Quality? It's a Mid SE, so you're getting that classic Jordan 1 shape & decent materials for the price point— around $135. It feels good, not "luxe", but definitely solid for the cost. The perforations on the swoosh are a nice detail. On foot, the colorway really pops. I was worried the colors might look flat in person, but they have a nice depth. It's a versatile look that works with so much. Walking around, the Mid height gives you a bit more ankle freedom than the Highs, which I personally prefer for all-day wear. Comparing it to other "Jordan" models, it's obviously less performance-oriented than, say, a 34 or 35... but for lifestyle? This SE version holds its own with a unique twist on the classic. Comparing it to other Jordans – let's be real. 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. Comparing this SE to a standard Mid – you're getting those unique material plays, which I appreciate! This particular "air jordan 1 mid se" uses a nice, tumbled leather. For the price? It's fair. The insole is pretty standard, nothing special. Who's it for? Someone who wants the AJ1 look without the High top price or the Low top simplicity. It's a perfect middle ground, "literally". Just size true to fit.
