This "Black Gym Red" pair pops so nicely. On camera and in person, the color blocking does all the work. Is it the most innovative shoe? No. But for under $130 USD, you get a piece of Jordan history that goes with literally everything. My jeans, my shorts - it just works. The Air Jordan 1 Mid is a wardrobe MVP, no doubt. Let's talk durability. One major "pro" of the "air jordan 1 mid" is its build. The all-leather upper (on most colorways) is tough and easy to wipe clean. The rubber outsole is thick and grips well. For $120-$130, you're getting a shoe that'll last. The "con"? That same sturdy build means it's not a "plush" experience. It's a tool, not a slipper. Great for casual wear and light activity. The color-blocking on this particular Air Jordan 1 Mid is what sold me. In hand, the materials are okay, but on foot? Man, they just pop. I love how versatile this silhouette is – it literally goes with anything. Compared to some of the recent High releases, the Mid is often more accessible and affordable. It's a fantastic entry point into the Jordan series without breaking the bank. 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.
