It gives you that slight lift and the ankle support feels more substantial than a low-top. I'm wearing this "Light Smoke Grey" pair, and the quality is surprisingly decent for the price. Is it the "best" leather? No. But it looks great and creases in a classic way. For the cost, the Air Jordan 1 Mid delivers serious style per dollar. Peeling back the tissue paper on this "Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'Court Purple' – the colors are vibrant and the leather has a nice grain. It's a statement piece. On foot, the ankle support is there, but the cushioning is minimal. If you're coming from a Yeezy or a New Balance, it's a stark difference. Pro: You get a piece of sneaker history. Con: Not the most practical for long-term wear. Best for collectors and style mavens. Let’s talk pros and cons, real quick. "Pro": Iconic style, easy to wear, and a relatively lower price point for a "Jordan" product. "Con": The footbed is pretty basic… zero break-in pain for me, but don’t expect amazing arch support. It’s a flat-feeling shoe. So, who's it for? Someone wanting that classic sneaker look without the High-top price tag. Not for folks needing all-day, walk-everywhere comfort. Let's talk about the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" for daily wear. Opening this pair, the craftsmanship is consistent – no major flaws. On-foot feel is what it is: classic, firm, and supportive in a old-school way. It's a tank – these will last you years. Versus a modern runner? No contest on comfort. But for $120, you get a piece of history you can actually wear daily. Ideal for someone wanting a durable, iconic sneaker. Not ideal if your priority is cloud-like comfort.
