Is it as coveted as a Chicago? No. But for daily rotation, it’s arguably "more" practical. The materials on this specific version feel a step above some standard Mids I've seen. That's the "SE" (Special Edition) part coming through, and it’s a welcome upgrade. My final take? I like it. For the $135 USD price tag, this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" delivers exactly what it promises: a stylish, well-built, and versatile sneaker. It's not trying to be something it's not. It's a solid 7.5/10 for me — points off mainly for the break-in period. But once it molds to your foot, it's a reliable go-to. 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! Considering the price point of $135, the value is here. You're buying into an iconic design with decent materials. It's not a hype release, and that's okay! The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is a workhorse sneaker. The potential con? Some might find the design "too basic" compared to collabs. But sometimes, basic is best. It's a foundational piece for any sneaker collection, in my honest opinion.
