It's a versatile tool in your style arsenal, not a tech marvel. Just got this new "Air Jordan 1 Mid" GS colorway for my niece! Unboxing it, the smaller size looks so clean. The materials feel consistent with the adult versions. At its price point in the Jordan series, it's a fantastic way to get the younger crew into the game without breaking the bank!
