First off, the 'White Gym Red' color-blocking is super clean & classic right out of the box. The materials feel decent for the $130 price point, nothing crazy premium, but the leather has a nice smooth finish? The shape is that iconic AJ1 silhouette we all love – it’s just a timeless look, no doubt. Sliding these on... initial fit is TTS, with that familiar snug AJ1 wrap around the midfoot. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" cushioning is firm – don't expect Boost-level comfort, it's more about support & style. They're not heavy, but you "feel" grounded. For $135, the quality here is pretty standard for a Mid. Great for short walks or casual wear, but maybe not your all-day, on-your-feet shoe. Now, a potential con. If you have "really" wide feet, the standard AJ1 Mid SE last might feel a bit restrictive. I'd suggest trying a pair on if you can. Also, purists who only rock Highs might overlook this model. But hey, that's their loss—this is a comfy, stylish shoe for the rest of us. Putting these Jordans on for the first time, the fit is pretty TTS for me. The comfort is... "honestly", it's a Jordan 1. You're getting that firm, supportive feel – not super plush. If you're used to modern cushioning, the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE might feel a bit stiff at first. But for everyday wear, it's totally fine. The collar padding is decent.
