Why? Consistency and recognizability. Every time I wear a pair, people notice that shape. The value is in its design language. Is the tech advanced? No. But does it make you feel cool and connected to sneaker history? 100%. For a daily driver, it's a reliable choice in a sea of overly-complicated designs. Final verdict on this "Air Jordan 1 Mid"? It's a legend for a reason. The silhouette, the history – it's all there. Is it comfortable? Not by today's standards, no. But that's not the point. For style, for culture, for a solid rotation piece, it delivers. It's the quintessential "Jordan series" entry model. Recommend it to anyone building a versatile sneaker collection. I'd steer away anyone who needs modern, technical cushioning above all else. It's a style icon, period. On feet now! Honestly, the comfort is… okay. It's a flat, firm ride - that's just the nature of the "air jordan 1 mid". Don't expect modern cushioning! The ankle collar is stiff at first, but the overall fit is true-to-size with a secure wrap. Compared to a High OG, the shorter collar offers a bit more ankle mobility. It's a trade-off between that iconic look and day-long comfort. Who are these for? Honestly, the Air Jordan 1 Mid is perfect for the style-conscious person who values heritage over hype. It's for someone who wants a reliable, iconic sneaker without chasing every limited release. Who is it "not" for? Hardcore comfort seekers or performance basketball players. You're buying these for the look and the legacy, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
