For $115 USD, it’s an entry point into the Jordan series. It’s also great for collectors who want a specific colorway that only releases in a Mid cut. It serves a real purpose. Unboxing this "Laser Blue" pair was a vibe! The colors really pop in person. On foot, the fit is true to size with a snug, secure wrap. I love Mids for casual wear because they're slightly less bulky than the Highs. The main advantage? You get that iconic Jordan 1 look, often for less money and with more unique color stories. It's a win for collectors on a budget. Unboxing this pair, the air jordan 1 mid's construction feels sturdy – good stitching and a firm shape. Wearing them, the ankle collar is comfortable, but the sole is firm, no doubt. In terms of style, it holds up well against other Jordans; the Mid is a bit more low-key than the Highs. Pros: iconic design and easy to style. Cons: not the most breathable shoe. Priced at $125 USD, it's a solid choice for casual wear, but not for athletic use. Who should skip it? Serious ballers needing performance tech — this is a lifestyle shoe. Folks who need advanced cushioning for all-day wear on concrete. If you "only" collect OG High OG colorways, this might not move you. But for most people looking for a stylish, dependable kick, this “Particle Grey” "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is a fantastic option. It’s all about your priorities.
