Hey, everyone — so, I unboxed the air jordan 1 mid in the "Gym Red" version (around $120 USD) today! First off, the Jordan series always delivers on nostalgia, and this pair's color blocking is vibrant — honestly, the red just pops in natural light. The materials feel decent for the price, with a sturdy leather upper. But, let's be real: it's not premium like some highs. Still, a solid first look! Alright, let's get these out of the box. First impression? The classic "Air Jordan 1 Mid" silhouette is just… timeless. This 'University Red' colorway pops! The build quality feels solid, no loose stitching I can see. At around "$125 USD", it's a more accessible entry into the "Jordan series" compared to some Highs. The leather is decent, not super premium, but that's expected. For a clean, classic look? It's hard to beat. Alright, let's unbox these Air Jordan 1 Mids in the Light Smoke Grey colorway. First impression? The leather feels decent — not ultra-premium, but definitely solid for the $120 price point. That classic silhouette, you just can't beat it. Sliding them on, the fit is true to size with a snug, secure feel around the ankle, which I actually prefer sometimes over the high-top. Honestly, a great everyday option.
