I know, I know — some sneakerheads sleep on Mids. But unboxing this, the color palette is really nice. Putting them on, the fit is surprisingly good! They're lighter than the High OGs. The main advantage? Usually more available and often under $130 USD. The catch? The materials can be a bit less premium compared to some OG High releases. My honest opinion? A great option for everyday beaters or if you're on a budget. Purists might disagree, and that's okay. Alright, let's get these out of the box. First look? The classic silhouette is undeniable. This 'Air Jordan 1 Retro' in this colorway just pops. The leather feels decent for the $180 price point—not super premium, but solid. Holding it, you "immediately" get that iconic Jordan series vibe. It's a timeless design, honestly. Alright, so, I just unboxed these "Air Jordan 1 Retro" 'Bred' — yep, the classic! The leather feels solid, maybe not super-buttery, but the color-blocking? Iconic. On feet, it's that familiar feel: a bit stiff (as expected) but the ankle support is top-notch. Honestly, it's a statement piece. Pros? Timeless look & incredible history. Cons? The comfort isn't modern. If you're new to the Jordan series, this is a must-have for your collection. But if you need cushioning for all-day wear... look elsewhere. Let's get into these! The "Air Jordan 1 Retro" Low 'Black Toe'. Priced at $100, it's a more accessible entry into the silhouette. Opening the box, the color-blocking is just iconic—it translates so well to the low-top. On foot, they're light and easy to slip on. The comfort is... still basic, but the low cut gives you more ankle freedom. For everyday errands or a casual vibe, they're great. Compared to the High version, you lose some of that dramatic look but gain practicality. Pro? Iconic look at a better price point. Con? Still not a comfort powerhouse, and some think lows are less "special." I'd recommend these to anyone who loves the AJ1 style but wants a more low-key, summer-ready option.
