First off, the all-leather build here – for around $115 USD – is super clean. The white-on-white colorway is "incredibly" versatile. However, the out-of-box feel is pretty stiff, classic "Jordan 1" style. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, you might find these a bit unforgiving at first. Honestly, I'd recommend these more for style-first collectors than for performance. So I just unboxed this new 'Hyper Royal' colorway of the "Air Jordan 1 Mid". The blue is way nicer in person! The build feels solid, no major glue stains or anything. As a shoe in the "Jordan" series, the "Mid" is such a versatile option—easier to style for everyday than some of the high-tops, in my opinion. On feet, this 'Bleached Coral' Air Jordan 1 Mid just pops on camera! The pastel colors are way more vibrant in person. 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 'Triple White' "Air Jordan 1 Mid" – wow, these are crisp. The leather has a nice grain. Sliding them on, the ankle collar is padded just enough. They feel more flexible than older Mids I've owned. The all-white look is a summer killer, but be warned: they'll get dirty fast. A great, affordable alternative to the High OG versions, for sure.
