The leather is decently soft, not cardboard-stiff, which is a nice surprise for the $125 price point. I’m digging the clean, wearable color-blocking straight away. It’s a classic "Jordan" silhouette that just works. My first thought unboxing? The air jordan 1 mid looks clean and well-made – no complaints on craftsmanship! Wearing them, the weight is manageable, and the fit is snug around the midfoot. Compared to other Jordan 1s, this Mid version is more affordable at $125. Pros: easy to match and durable. Cons: the ankle padding could be softer. It's a go-to for casual sneakerheads, but if you're into high-performance basketball shoes, this isn't it. A solid, everyday option from the Jordan lineup. Unboxing the air jordan 1 mid — this "Mid 'Bred'" colorway ($125 USD) — I was impressed by the bold black and red! The Jordan series classic shines here. 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! Honestly? I grabbed this "Black Gym Red" colorway because it's a straight-up classic. The build quality is decent—no major flaws out of the box. Comparing it to an OG High, you notice the fewer lace holes and slightly different collar shape immediately. But on foot, from a few feet away? Most people won't know the difference. It's a "smart" buy for a beater sneaker.
