The Air Jordan Mid 1 isn't trying to be the rarest or most tech-packed shoe. It's a stylish, accessible piece of the Jordan legacy. It has its flaws — mainly in comfort for long stretches — but its strengths in design, versatility, and price are huge. If that sounds like your vibe, you won't be disappointed. Solid cop. Alright, so I just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in the "University Blue" colorway, and "wow" – the color pop is immediate. The leather feels decent for the $125 price point, and that classic Mid silhouette is just "chef's kiss". It's a straightforward, clean Jordan 1, no crazy gimmicks. If you love the AJ1 look but want something a bit more accessible — price-wise and height-wise — than the Highs, this is a solid pick. Comparing it to other Jordans... If you have a High, you don't "need" a Mid, but it's a different vibe. The "Air Jordan Mid 1" is easier to put on and off, for sure. It’s less of a statement, more of an everyday shoe. I find myself grabbing these for quick errands more often than my Highs. The price difference in the "Jordan series" makes the Mid a fantastic entry point. Just know the materials might be slightly different—sometimes less leather, more synthetic. Still a great shoe for the money. Here's a detailed look at this 'Dark Concord' Air Jordan Mid. That purple is deeper in person—really unique. Construction is standard Jordan Mid quality. My true size fit perfectly, no pinching. The footbed is firm, offering decent arch support for a flat shoe. Compared to a Dunk, it feels more structured. Pro: Incredibly easy to style with jeans or shorts. Con: The price has crept up to $135 on some colorways. I'd recommend these to a sneaker fan wanting a durable, iconic shoe.
