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! Okay, here's my honest take on the Air Jordan 1 Mid. Pros? Unbeatable classic style, goes with literally everything, and the durability is usually pretty good. Cons? That footbed is flat and firm – it's not a "comfort" sneaker by today's standards. For $120-$135, you're paying for the iconic design from the Jordan series. I'd recommend it to anyone building a sneaker rotation who needs a versatile pair. Not recommended if your priority is cloud-like comfort for long walks. 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. Open box, and that new sneaker smell hits! The shape on these Mids is slightly bulkier than the OG Highs – you can see it in the toe box and collar. It's not bad, just different. Some colorways use softer leather than others, so check reviews! Overall, for a "Jordan series" entry-point, it delivers. It feels substantial in hand, not cheap. A solid first impression every time.
