Stitching is clean on my pair. The metallic leather is smooth. It's not a luxury leather, but it's durable. Compared to some recent "Jordan" releases, the consistency on Mids seems pretty solid. No major complaints here for $120 USD. Just got this Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Light Smoke Grey' in hand. Initial thoughts? The materials feel a step up – nice tumbled leather! The grey & white is super wearable. Putting them on... the ankle collar is stiff "initially", but the midfoot lockdown is good. Compared to my Dunks, the AJ1 Mid feels more structured. I love the classic basketball profile on foot. Downside? The outsole is a bit slippery on smooth surfaces. At around $120, it's a great entry into the Jordan series. But if you have wide feet? "Proceed with caution." Unboxing this new "Light Smoke Grey" "Air Jordan 1 Mid" – the materials feel decent, not premium, but decent. On foot, they're snug (I went true to size), and they're surprisingly lightweight. The design is super versatile; it'll match with almost anything in your closet. Compared to pricier sneakers, the value is there. Major advantage? The endless colorways available in the Mid cut. Disadvantage? It lacks the "special" feel of some collaborations. A solid, reliable pickup. Alright, fresh out the box with these. This Air Jordan 1 Mid has a really nice, buttery leather on the swoosh - a nice surprise. On foot, they feel secure, good lockdown. Styling-wise, Mids sometimes get hate, but on feet, most people can't even tell the difference from a High. For $120 USD, you're getting the iconic silhouette. It's perfect for the casual wearer, not so much for a hardcore collector chasing only OG highs.
