At roughly $125, it’s a solid option. On foot, they’re light enough and the collar doesn’t bite. Visually, they pop without being too loud. Great for starters or those who want multiple colorways.

Thanks for watching — let me know your thoughts down below! First lace-up of this 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE'—feels familiar and reliable. The mid-top gives a bit more ankle presence than a low, but it’s easier to wear than a high-top for some. My favorite part is the classic design language; it just works. Downside?
