On camera, the details shine. But honestly, after a few hours, my feet start to feel the firmness. For $125 USD, it's a fair price for the brand. I recommend it if you're building a retro collection or want a stylish beater; avoid if you prioritize comfort above all else. From a collector’s view, some "air jordan 1 mid" colorways become super sought-after. This ‘Chicago Black Toe’ inspired one? It’s a winner. While it’s not the original, it captures that vibe for a fraction of the resale price—just $115 USD retail. That’s a major advantage. It lets you rock a legendary look without taking out a second mortgage. That’s a big deal. Let's talk about actually wearing these. I've got the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'Shadow' on feet now. The fit? True to size for me. Comfort is... well, it's an AJ1. You're getting that classic, firm feel—not super plush like modern shoes. The ankle collar on the "Mid" is perfect if you find the High a bit restrictive. For $120, you're paying for the look and legacy. Unboxing this new 'Court Purple' Mid, and wow, that color is vibrant in person! The quality feels consistent, nothing premium but solid. Wearing them, they're definitely flat-footed - no Zoom or anything fancy here. Compared to newer Jordan models, it's all about style over tech. Pro? You get that legendary Jordan 1 look. Con? Arch support is minimal. If you're on your feet all day, consider an insole. For short outings and fits? A winner.
