The ankle collar is a bit lower than the OG High, which I actually "prefer" for daily wear – easier on the ankles! The cushioning is… well, it’s firm. You're not buying these for a cloud-like ride, let’s be real. On feet now, and the initial feel is... exactly what you expect from an AJ1. It's firm, not plush. The ankle collar on this "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is lower than the Highs, so you get a bit more mobility, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. The lockdown? Solid. No heel slippage for me. It’s a straightforward, reliable fit. Final thoughts: the air jordan 1 mid (Jordan series, "Sail/Black" version, $120 USD) is a reliable pick. Out of the box, the craftsmanship is decent — not flawless, but good for the price. On foot, it's snug and supportive, yet the sole isn't super soft. Compared to premium Jordans, it's more accessible. Pros: classic design and affordable. Cons: lacks modern comfort tech. Perfect for casual wearers, but if you prioritize cushioning, consider other options. Thanks for watching! On foot, the silhouette is just undeniably cool. It gives you that slight lift and the ankle support feels more substantial than a low-top. I'm wearing this "Light Smoke Grey" pair, and the quality is surprisingly decent for the price. Is it the "best" leather? No. But it looks great and creases in a classic way. For the cost, the Air Jordan 1 Mid delivers serious style per dollar.
