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. On foot, the fit is true to size — no surprises. The comfort level is standard for a Jordan 1: you get that familiar, supportive feel, not plush, but it's a reliable, stable base. Honestly, if you're used to the high-top OG, this Mid SE feels a bit more... "liberating" around the ankle. It’s easier to get on and off for sure. The weight is just what you'd expect — nothing heavy, nothing super light. Let's talk pros & cons, "real quick". The biggest pro? Versatility. This "Mid" SE design goes with "so" many fits. The cons? That break-in period – the first few wears can be tough. Compared to a Jordan 1 High, you lose some of that classic, ""OG"" prestige. But you gain a more accessible, everyday sneaker. It's a trade-off, honestly. On feet, the design of this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE really pops. The contrasting panels – especially that bold red swoosh – look great in motion. They're super versatile; I can already picture multiple fits. Compared to some louder, hype-driven releases, this is a "wearable" shoe. It doesn't scream for attention, but it gets compliments. That's the Jordan 1 magic, even in a Mid SE form.
