That initial stiffness eases up a bit. I appreciate the secure lockdown from the laces — my foot doesn't slide around. Is it a performance basketball shoe in 2024? No, and it's not trying to be. It's a lifestyle piece. And as that? This particular "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" executes its job very, very well. Okay, so here's my first look at this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" in this grey and blue colorway. Straight out of the box, the leather quality feels pretty good – not super premium, but definitely solid for the price point. I love how clean this color-blocking is; it's super versatile. Honestly, a great first impression for a Mid. Let's be real about the "air jordan 1 mid se": it's a fashion shoe first. The comfort tech is decades old. But – that's also its charm! It's a direct link to Jordan history. The SE versions offer just enough newness to feel fresh. Pros: timeless design, durable build, versatile. Cons: flat footers might need more support; it's a stiff ride initially. For a collector or a style-focused wearer, it's a yes. Who should "skip" this pair? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, this isn't it. Also, if you're a Jordan purist who only rocks High OGs, the Mid cut might not do it for you. And for true performance basketball? Obviously, look at modern sig shoes instead. Know what you're buying!
