It's a flat, firm shoe. Also, purists who "only" mess with the OG High-top silhouette might skip it. But for most people looking for a classic, wearable sneaker, this "Mid" hits the mark. 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. First-look time! Just pulled these "Air Jordan 1 Mid" "Barely Orange" out of the box. The color is way more vibrant in person — love that. Sliding them on, the fit is pretty standard, maybe a "hair" roomy in the toe box for me. The craftsmanship is solid, no major flaws. Here’s the deal: This shoe is about attitude and completing a fit. The comfort is... fine. It's not a drawback, but it's not a selling point either. Perfect for the style-focused crowd, easy pass for performance seekers. Is the Air Jordan 1 Mid worth it? For style and heritage—absolutely. It's a piece of sneaker history you can wear daily. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting that classic Jordan look without the hype (or price) of some High OG releases. But for pure comfort seekers? Maybe not your first choice.
