The leather is decent—not the highest tier, but perfectly fine for the price point (~$120). Honestly, compared to some recent AJ1 Highs, the quality here feels pretty consistent. A major pro? The Mid's slightly lower cut can be easier to style with certain pants. Love it for a spring/summer vibe. 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. Let's talk about the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Bred' for a second. That black and red combo is just powerful, man. The build quality is good, no major flaws on my pair. When I walk around, the traction is excellent on dry surfaces. At $120, it's a steal for a timeless colorway. Who's it for? Anyone wanting that classic Jordan look without the huge resale price. Not for who? Folks needing modern, bouncy foam underfoot. It's a lifestyle shoe, through and through. Let’s talk pros and cons. Pro: The "air jordan 1 mid" is a style icon. It’s recognizable, and it goes with everything. Con? The comfort tech is dated. If you’re used to modern, cushioned runners, you might find these stiff. They break in, but don’t expect magic. It’s a trade-off: legendary style for less-than-legendary foot feel. You have to want the "look" first.
