This isn't a "comfort-first" sneaker. Also, if you're a purest for the original 1985 High OG design, the slightly altered proportions of the Mid might bug you. But for most people wanting that AJ1 style? The Air Jordan 1 Mid is a fantastic, more affordable door into the Jordan series. 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. Unboxing this new 'Court Purple' Mid, and wow, that color is vibrant in person! The quality feels consistent, nothing premium but solid. Wearing them, they're definitely flat-footed - no Zoom or anything fancy here. Compared to newer Jordan models, it's all about style over tech. Pro? You get that legendary Jordan 1 look. Con? Arch support is minimal. If you're on your feet all day, consider an insole. For short outings and fits? A winner. Now, the cons (gotta be honest). The cushioning is firm — not for long periods of standing/walking if you need support. Some purists still overlook the Mid vs. the High (but that’s their loss!). Break-in time is real; the ankle might feel stiff at first. If you prioritize ultimate comfort over style, this might not be your #1. It’s a classic, but not a comfort-tech masterpiece.
