Also, if you're a die-hard sneakerhead who only values the "original" High OG specs and materials, you might be disappointed. This is the more accessible, mass-friendly version of the icon. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that for 99% of people. Let's talk about the elephant in the room... comparing it to the High Top. The Air Jordan 1 Mid lacks that top ankle strap and is, well, a mid-cut. For some purists, that's a deal-breaker. For me? I actually like the easier on-and-off. It's also usually more available and affordable. This 'Gym Red' version pops nicely and for $125, it's a steal if you dig the color-blocking. Final thoughts? The "air jordan 1 mid" is a cultural icon, period. This 'Sail Crimson Tint' pair looks premium. The shape is excellent right out of the box. Walking in them, you get that classic, slightly stiff ride - it's part of the experience. They photograph incredibly well. For the price in the "Jordan series", it's a fair deal for the design heritage.优点: Timeless style.缺点: Basic comfort tech. I recommend it for any sneaker fan's collection, but not as your primary "walk-all-day" shoe. Sliding my foot into this "Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'Black Gym Red', the fit is true-to-size but "snug". The leather is stiff initially – no way around it. The flat footbed is the biggest thing to note; it's not a "comfort" shoe out of the box. But man, on foot, the profile is so sharp. It's a shoe that makes an outfit. Ideal for sneakerheads who appreciate the history. I'd steer clear if you have wide feet or need a lot of cushioning.
