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. Opening this box, the 'Court Purple' "Air Jordan 1 Mid" looks even better in person. The colors are vibrant. On foot, it's that classic, slightly elevated feel. Comparing it to other Jordans, like a Jordan 3 or 4, the tech is simpler here. But sometimes, you just want that clean, high-top(ish) silhouette without the bulk. Pro: Unmatched versatility for the price. Con: The materials can vary by colorway, so do your research. Side-by-side with a Jordan 1 High, the Mid has a slightly different profile—it's a touch shorter. Some purists hate that; I think it's a cool variation. This "Black Toe" Mid gives you that iconic color blocking for under $140. My advice? If you love the Highs but can't find/afford your size, the Mid is a "perfectly legitimate" alternative. Don't let the hype fool you. Just got this Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Light Smoke Grey' in hand. Initial thoughts? The materials feel a step up – nice tumbled leather! The grey & white is super wearable. Putting them on... the ankle collar is stiff "initially", but the midfoot lockdown is good. Compared to my Dunks, the AJ1 Mid feels more structured. I love the classic basketball profile on foot. Downside? The outsole is a bit slippery on smooth surfaces. At around $120, it's a great entry into the Jordan series. But if you have wide feet? "Proceed with caution."
