It's just "iconic". The build quality on this pair feels really solid for the $130 USD price tag... the leather has a decent grain to it. As a Mid, it sits perfectly between a High and a Low in the Jordan 1 family. Let's talk pros & cons. Pros first: The style is undeniable – it's a classic. Price is relatively accessible for a "Jordan" series shoe. It's durable for daily beaters. A major con? The comfort, or lack thereof. The insole is basic, and that Air unit? You barely feel it. Don't buy these for performance or all-day walking comfort. Final thought: who might want to skip the Air Jordan Mid 1? If you demand the highest level of cushioning tech, or if you "only" collect original High OG silhouettes, then maybe look elsewhere. But for 99% of people wanting a stylish, durable, and iconic sneaker? Yeah, this is a very easy recommendation from me. Alright, so first impressions unboxing this "air jordan mid 1" 'Chicago'... the color-blocking is just iconic, right? The red, black, and white combo pops instantly. Checking the build quality on this pair - for the $135 price point - the leather feels decent, not the super buttery stuff, but it's clean. The shape and silhouette are exactly what you expect from the "Jordan" lineage. A solid, classic start.
