This "Air Jordan 1 Mid" just "pops" in footage. The simple color blocking works so well. Compared to the OG Highs – it's a slightly shorter collar, which I actually prefer for casual fits. It's less bulky around the ankle. The main advantage here? Versatility and that iconic look at a more accessible price. Downside? Purists might always favor the Highs. Just copped this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE in a sail and grey combo. Out of the box, the materials have a nice, slightly premium texture. On foot, the comfort is standard AJ1—break-in needed. The mid-top height is a sweet spot for me—more ankle freedom than a High. Aesthetically, this colorway is super wearable. Pro? It offers a "slightly" different vibe from the usual color-blocks. Con? The outsole on Mids can feel a bit thin sometimes. At this price point, it's a good pick for someone who already loves the Jordan 1 silhouette but wants a "different" flavor. So, who are these for? I'd say they're perfect for someone who wants that classic Jordan 1 look without breaking the bank or dealing with crazy resale. Great for a first Jordan, or as a reliable, "neutral-colored" sneaker in your rotation. At $120 USD, they offer solid value for the iconic style you're getting. Who might want to skip it? If you're purely in it for top-tier, buttery materials – you might be disappointed. If you need plush, modern basketball shoe comfort – look elsewhere. Also, if the "Mid" height just doesn't do it for you aesthetically compared to the Highs, then follow your taste. Don't buy a shoe you don't love the look of.
