For $115 USD, it’s an entry point into the Jordan series. It’s also great for collectors who want a specific colorway that only releases in a Mid cut. It serves a real purpose. Who might not love it? If you prioritize super-soft cushioning above all else, look elsewhere. 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. Sliding these on for the first time... yeah, it's a familiar feeling. The Air Jordan 1 Mid offers a snug fit right out of the gate. The ankle collar gives decent support, but let's be real — the cushioning is firm. You're not getting Boost or React here. It's more about style and that classic basketball court feel. For all-day comfort? Maybe not your first pick. Let's talk about the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'University Blue' – a colorway that always looks good. Unboxing it, the white and blue combo is just crisp and classic. The materials are what you expect: durable, easy-to-clean leather. On foot, it's the same reliable experience: good arch support, break-in required for perfect flex. Styling-wise, this might be one of the most wearable Mids out there – pairs with jeans, shorts, you name it. Pro: Fantastic, crowd-pleasing colorway that's always in style. Con: Like all AJ1s, the toe creases pretty noticeably – that's part of the charm for some, a deal-breaker for others. I'd say this is ideal for someone wanting a fresh, clean sneaker that won't go out of fashion. If you're terrified of creases, maybe look at a different model.
