Honestly, the materials—especially that suede/nubuck combo—are a nice step up from some standard Mids I've seen. Weighs in light on the foot, and that SE (Special Edition) detail on the wings logo is a cool touch. For $135, it's a solid pick-up. However, the break-in period is real; the collar might rub a bit at first. I'd recommend these if you value materials over hype. If you want super plush comfort right away, maybe look elsewhere. So, is it worth the buy? For me? Yeah, especially in a clean colorway. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE offers that iconic Jordan 1 magic at a more accessible point. You're paying for heritage and style, not groundbreaking tech. If that's what you want—a reliable, stylish wardrobe staple—then this is a easy recommendation. Comparing it to other Jordans – it's interesting! The "air jordan 1 mid se" sits between the bulky Air Force 1 and the higher-top AJ1. It's less formal than some dunks, too. I like it for its balance. The craftsmanship on my pair is good, no major glue stains or anything. It's a reliable, "well-built" option in the Jordan lineup. Final verdict? For $135, I think this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE in 'Bleached Coral' is a worthwhile pickup. It's not the most exciting release ever, but it's a well-executed, wearable shoe. It fills a specific niche in the Jordan lineup. A 7.5/10 from me – good, not legendary.
