You're paying for the legendary silhouette and a killer, wearable colorway. Manage your expectations on materials and cushioning, and you'll be happy. It's a confident recommend from me as a solid, "foundational" sneaker. 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. The major "pro" for this shoe? Timeless style, hands down. A pair like this "Black Gym Red" "Air Jordan 1 Mid" goes with literally everything. Jeans, shorts, joggers – it's a wardrobe staple. For under $135 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's incredibly easy to wear. That's a huge advantage. Here’s my real take. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is a staple for a reason. It's durable, goes with almost anything in your closet. Is it the most comfortable shoe ever? Nah. The cushioning is basic. But for its price point in the Jordan series, you’re paying for the design and heritage. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting their first pair of Jordans without breaking the bank.
