Let's be real, it's not a modern cushioning setup. The ankle collar is a bit lower than the Highs, which some folks prefer for mobility. For me, it's a timeless fit. If you're new to the Jordan series and want that iconic look, the Mid is a "great", more accessible entry point. What's up, everyone! Got the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" on feet today. Look, for the money — we're talking $120-$130 — you're getting a ton of style. The "Gym Red" pops "so" well on camera. Compared to a high-top AJ1, the Mid offers a bit more ankle mobility, which I actually prefer for casual wear. The "big" pro? Versatility. The con? That flat, unforgiving insole. I'd grab a pair of your own comfort inserts, seriously. If you value looks over cloud-like comfort, go for it. On foot, the weight feels good – not too heavy, not too light. The leather creases, that's just part of the charm with this model. Some people hate that, I think it adds character. The mid-top height offers a bit more support than a low-top, but less than a High. It's that perfect middle ground. For daily beaters, you can't go wrong with a Mid colorway you love. Sliding my foot into this "Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'Black Gym Red', the fit is true-to-size but "snug". The leather is stiff initially – no way around it. The flat footbed is the biggest thing to note; it's not a "comfort" shoe out of the box. But man, on foot, the profile is so sharp. It's a shoe that makes an outfit. Ideal for sneakerheads who appreciate the history. I'd steer clear if you have wide feet or need a lot of cushioning.
