There's a small Air unit in the heel, but let's be real—it's not a modern performance or max-comfort shoe. If you want plush cushioning, look elsewhere. Also, some purists will always argue the High-top is the "real" version. But for most daily uses, the "mid 1" is perfectly fine. Bottom line: The Air Jordan Mid 1 nails its brief. It delivers the iconic look at a more accessible point. The 'Black Toe' vibe on this pair is fire. It's not the most innovative shoe in 2024, but it doesn't need to be. It's a solid, dependable classic. Would I buy it again? For sure — it's a no-brainer for casual, everyday style. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan Mid 1 sits, well, in the middle. It's more accessible price-wise (~$135) than many High OG releases. You lose a bit of that iconic high-top collar, but you gain a slightly more modern, wearable profile. It's a fantastic gateway into the Jordan 1 family, for real. Now, a real talk CON — the cushioning. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the Air Jordan Mid 1 will feel "firm". There's a small Air unit in the heel, but it's not a "comfort-first" shoe. It's built on a 1985 blueprint! Also, the leather quality can vary by colorway. This one's decent, but don't expect super-supple tumbled leather on this specific release.
