One major "pro" of the "air jordan 1 mid" is its build. The all-leather upper (on most colorways) is tough and easy to wipe clean. The rubber outsole is thick and grips well. For $120-$130, you're getting a shoe that'll last. The "con"? That same sturdy build means it's not a "plush" experience. It's a tool, not a slipper. Great for casual wear and light activity. Alright, so, I just got this pair of the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" in the 'White Gym Red' colorway, which is around... $125 USD. First impressions? Honestly, the build quality is solid right out of the box. The leather has a nice grain to it, and the classic silhouette? Timeless, obviously. It just screams "Jordan series" heritage. Really clean look on foot for a simple, everyday vibe. Slipping these on for the first time... The fit is true to size, offering a secure, snug wrap around the midfoot, thanks to that classic lace system. The ankle collar, being a Mid, is definitely less restrictive than a High-top. It’s a comfortable, broken-in feel from the jump, which is a huge plus for daily wear. Putting these air jordan 1 mid shoes on for the first time — wow, the fit is snug, but not too tight! I went true to size, and the cushioning? It's firm, typical for a Jordan 1, so don't expect cloud-like comfort. Compared to other Jordans, like the AJ1 High, the mid-cut offers slightly less ankle support. Pros: classic style and easy to style. Cons: might be stiff for all-day wear. Great for casual outings!
