The mix of textures – smooth leather and nubuck suede – adds great depth. It pairs surprisingly well with simple jeans and a tee; the shoe does all the talking. A solid, fun addition to the Jordan series if you want something different. Final verdict? I'm into it. As a fan of unique storytelling in sneakers, I think the Cheeseburger concept is executed well. It's a quality-built Mid with a ton of character. Would I wear them every day? No. But for adding some fun to the collection, they're a solid pick-up. Just know what you're getting into. Value-wise, at $135 USD, it's fair. You're paying for the design concept more than premium materials. That's the trade-off. Compared to a standard Air Jordan 1 Mid, you get a much more interesting shoe for roughly the same price. So if you're choosing between basic and this—go for the "Air Jordan 1 Mid Cheeseburger". The storytelling alone adds value for the right person. Conversely, who should skip it? If you're buying your first – or only – pair of Jordan 1s, go for a more versatile colorway. If supreme comfort is your top priority, look elsewhere. And if you prefer to blend in rather than stand out, this $135 is better spent on a different release. It's not for everyone, and that's okay.
