This 'Chicago' inspired colorway pops! The build feels good, not cheap. Wearing them, they're true to size with a snug forefoot. Compared to modern Jordan models, these are flat and firm – not for long walks, in my opinion. But for looking fresh? 10/10. Definitely a closet staple. Okay, putting these "Air Jordan 1 Mids" to the test. This "Chicago Black Toe" look is fire, and at around $125 USD, it's way more accessible than an OG High. The leather quality is okay—it creases easily, which I don't mind. Compared to other Jordans, like a Jordan 4, these are much lighter and less bulky. Pro: Iconic style that goes with everything. Con: The flat outsole isn't great for wet surfaces. Recommended for collectors and casual wearers alike. So, who should buy this? If you love the AJ1 look but want to spend less, or if you simply prefer a mid-top cut, this is your shoe. The "air jordan 1 mid" is a workhorse for casual fits. Who should skip it? Performance basketball players or all-day, on-your-feet comfort chasers. It’s a lifestyle icon, not a tech marvel. For that purpose? It absolutely gets the job done and looks great doing it. Slipping these on… okay. The fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar & laces give a snug, secure wrap — classic AJ1 feeling. Now, let’s be real: the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" isn’t known for plush cushioning. It’s a firm ride (that’s just how it is). It’s not heavy, though — easy to wear all day. If you want clouds underfoot, this ain’t it. But for style & support? It delivers.
