Air jordan 1 mid : What's up, everyone? Just unboxed these "air jordan 1 mid" in the 'Light Smoke Grey' colorway [voot28c6]

The materials feel decent for the price point... the leather has a nice grain. Slip them on, and yeah - that iconic silhouette is instantly recognizable. They're not heavy, but you feel grounded. Compared to an AJ1 High, the ankle collar is obviously lower, which I prefer for everyday comfort. Pro? Unbeatable versatility. Con? The insole is basic. Worth it if you want a classic look without the High-top price tag. First try-on of the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" – immediate thoughts? The collar height is perfect for showing off your socks. The materials are what you'd expect for the $120 USD price tag: good, not great. Visually, the Mid offers a cleaner, slightly more modern proportion than the High, in my opinion. It's excellent for adding that sneakerhead touch to an outfit without being too loud. Not excellent for wide-footers; it runs a bit narrow. Know your fit! Comparing it directly to an AJ1 High... the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" sacrifices a bit of that classic, high-top aesthetic. But - and it's a big but - it's often more affordable and easier to put on. The silhouette is nearly identical from most angles. If you love the look but find Highs a hassle, this is your move. Sliding my foot into this "Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'Black Gym Red', the fit is true-to-size but "snug". The leather is stiff initially – no way around it. The flat footbed is the biggest thing to note; it's not a "comfort" shoe out of the box. But man, on foot, the profile is so sharp. It's a shoe that makes an outfit. Ideal for sneakerheads who appreciate the history. I'd steer clear if you have wide feet or need a lot of cushioning.
