On foot, the traction is good, but the cushioning? Honestly, it's firm — you might want to add an insole. Compared to AJ1 Lows, it offers more ankle coverage. Pros: eye-catching and easy to match. Cons: break-in time needed. Best for fashion, not for all-day comfort. A solid addition! Putting these on for a full day… the break-in period is real, folks! That leather needs some time to soften up around the toebox. Once it does, the fit is secure and snug. I appreciate the Mid’s height – it offers a bit more support than a low-top, but less bulk than the High. A great middle ground, honestly. Here's my real take: the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" gets some hate, but it's unjustified. This 'Barely Orange' pair has amazing materials! On feet, they're comfortable for casual wear. The mid-top height is the sweet spot for me – it's supportive without feeling restrictive. Cons? The outsole is thin; traction is just okay. But for $120? You're paying for the iconic look and it delivers. 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.
