Is it worth the $125? If you love the Jordan 1 look but want something a "little" different from the usual releases, then absolutely. If you need max comfort for all-day standing? Maybe look elsewhere. The craftsmanship on my pair is decent – no major glue stains or messy stitching. For a Mid, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" holds up. On foot, the toe box creases pretty typically, so be ready for that 'lived-in' look fast. It's part of the charm, though! If you hate creasing, this model – and most AJ1s – might not be for you. But for a classic, beatable sneaker, it's a winner. Comparing it to a High? The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers a different vibe. You lose a bit of that classic, high-top look, but you gain easier wearability. It's less restrictive around the ankle. If you want the iconic High OG shape, this isn't it – but if you want the Jordan 1 style with a more casual, modern twist, the SE version is a great alternative. Alright, let's get this "air jordan 1 mid se" unboxed. First impression? This 'Black Sail' colorway is super clean in hand. The materials feel nice for the price point – around $125. It's got that classic Jordan 1 silhouette, but the SE details, like that subtle texture on the swoosh? They add a cool twist. Seriously – a great first look right out of the box.
