Highs sell out and resell for crazy prices. This Mid version, at around $120 USD, lets you rock the iconic silhouette without the hassle. The "White Black" colorway is a perfect example - it's just a clean, classic look. You're paying for the design, not for hype. And sometimes, that's exactly what you need. Alright, so let's get into this Air Jordan 1 Mid. First impression out of the box? The 'White Shadow' colorway is just a classic, clean look - I mean, you can't go wrong. The leather feels decent for the price point of $120, honestly. Sliding them on, the fit is pretty TTS, but that ankle collar...it's a bit stiff at first. Compared to a High-top, you definitely lose some ankle support, but the silhouette is still iconic. Just got these in the 'Chicago Black Toe' inspired color-blocking. Wow, they pop on camera! The red, black, and white combo on the "air jordan 1 mid" is just a classic. It’s a statement piece for sure. However, the leather here is a bit stiff – it'll need a serious break-in period. If you love bold style and don't mind some initial discomfort, these are for you. If you prioritize soft materials right out the box, maybe look elsewhere. 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.
