It gives you that slight lift and the ankle support feels more substantial than a low-top. I'm wearing this "Light Smoke Grey" pair, and the quality is surprisingly decent for the price. Is it the "best" leather? No. But it looks great and creases in a classic way. For the cost, the Air Jordan 1 Mid delivers serious style per dollar. Just got these in the 'Chicago Black Toe' inspired color-blocking. Wow, they pop on camera! The red, black, and white combo on the "air jordan 1 mid" is just a classic. It’s a statement piece for sure. However, the leather here is a bit stiff – it'll need a serious break-in period. If you love bold style and don't mind some initial discomfort, these are for you. If you prioritize soft materials right out the box, maybe look elsewhere. So, here's my take on this Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Ghost Green.' Unique color, for sure. The materials are standard, but the construction is neat. On feet, they're true to size with a break-in period for the ankle area. The biggest advantage of any Mid is the price and accessibility. The drawback? It doesn't have the same "hype" or legacy status as some Highs. But if you love the design and want to rock it daily, this is a no-brainer. What's up, everyone? Just unboxed these 'Black Toe' Air Jordan 1 Mids. The color blocking is, like, instantly recognizable and pops on camera. On foot, they're comfortable enough for all-day wear - not super plush, but that's the classic AJ1 feel. For $120 USD, it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan series. Pros? Timeless style. Cons? The creasing is real, and if you need serious cushioning, look elsewhere.
