The leather creases, that's just part of the charm with this model. Some people hate that, I think it adds character. The mid-top height offers a bit more support than a low-top, but less than a High. It's that perfect middle ground. For daily beaters, you can't go wrong with a Mid colorway you love. Peeling back the tissue paper on this "Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'Court Purple' – the colors are vibrant and the leather has a nice grain. It's a statement piece. On foot, the ankle support is there, but the cushioning is minimal. If you're coming from a Yeezy or a New Balance, it's a stark difference. Pro: You get a piece of sneaker history. Con: Not the most practical for long-term wear. Best for collectors and style mavens. Comparing it to my other Jordans, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" fits right in. The profile is slightly shorter, but from a few feet away? Most people won't even tell the difference. It captures the essence. My final take? For $120-$130 USD, it’s a worthwhile pickup for your rotation — a reliable, iconic shoe that won’t let you down style-wise. 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.
