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. Alright, let's get into it. First off, the box is classic Jordan — you know what you're getting. This "particular" Air Jordan 1 Mid colorway has a really clean, versatile look straight out of the box. The leather feels pretty standard for the price point (around $120), nothing super premium, but the construction is solid. It's that iconic silhouette, instantly recognizable. The potential downside? Some colorways use stiffer materials. Always check reviews for the specific pair! My "Court Purple" version here is decent. It's a trade-off: you get the legendary Jordan 1 look at a great price, but maybe not the "absolute" best materials. For me, that's a fair deal. The Air Jordan 1 Mid remains a go-to for a reason. Unboxing this "Laser Blue" pair was a vibe! The colors really pop in person. On foot, the fit is true to size with a snug, secure wrap. I love Mids for casual wear because they're slightly less bulky than the Highs. The main advantage? You get that iconic Jordan 1 look, often for less money and with more unique color stories. It's a win for collectors on a budget.
