.. the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar gives a nice, secure feel - it's not as restrictive as the Highs, which I actually prefer for everyday wear. The insole is pretty standard, so don't expect ultra-plush cushioning right out of the box. It's that familiar, supportive Jordan 1 feel. Who are these for? Honestly, "first-time Jordan buyers" or anyone wanting a classic silhouette without the High-top price or feel. If you value style & history over max comfort, you'll love these Air Jordan Mid 1s. They're a gateway into the Jordan universe, and a darn good one. Final thought: If you see a colorway of the Air Jordan Mid 1 that you "truly" love, go for it. At ~$135 USD, it's a "staple". You're paying for the "design" and "history", not "premium" materials. It's a "workhorse" in a sneaker rotation. Just "manage" your expectations on cushioning, and you'll have a "great", "versatile" shoe from the Jordan series that "never" goes out of style. Alright, let's get these on feet. The initial feel? The Air Jordan Mid 1 offers a snug, true-to-size fit for me. The ankle padding is decent — it's not as high as the OG Highs, but it gives good support. The cushioning is... well, it's firm. Don't expect modern, bouncy comfort; it's more about that classic, stable court feel.
