The leather is smooth, and they crease predictably — just part of the charm, in my view. They feel lighter than they look, which is nice. The major pro? Versatility. You can wear these with almost anything. The con? That flat, non-supportive insole. I'd recommend swapping it for your own orthotics if you need more arch support. If you're new to sneakers, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is a perfect start. This 'Chicago' inspired colorway pops! The build feels good, not cheap. Wearing them, they're true to size with a snug forefoot. Compared to modern Jordan models, these are flat and firm – not for long walks, in my opinion. But for looking fresh? 10/10. Definitely a closet staple. Let's get into these! This Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Royal' just arrived. The blue leather looks sharp in hand. Slipping them on... immediate feedback: they're supportive, but "man" that forefoot is stiff. The weight is noticeable – it's a substantial shoe. In natural light, the colors really shine. Compared to a Jordan 1 Low, the Mid offers more ankle... "presence". Love it for the classic aesthetic and versatility. Don't love it for long-distance walking. Verdict? A solid pick for casual wear, but know what you're signing up for: style over supreme comfort. Here’s the deal: the "pros" for this shoe are its price (around that $115 USD mark), its massive range of colorways, and its iconic style. It’s a perfect entry point into the Jordan series. The cons? That classic, stiff Air Jordan 1 feel isn’t for everyone seeking modern comfort.
