If you need plush cushioning for all-day wear or balling, look elsewhere. This is a retro basketball shoe in design only. Also, that stiff leather can crease in a pretty noticeable way. It's part of the charm for some, but if you like your sneakers pristine, this might bug you. Comparing it to its siblings: if you own the Air Jordan 1 High, you know the vibe. The Mid is its more accessible, slightly more casual cousin. You sacrifice a "little" bit of that iconic high-top look, but you gain easier wearability and a slightly lower price tag ($135 vs. ~$180). For daily kicks, this Air Jordan Mid 1 makes a ton of practical sense. Opening the box, this "Air Jordan Mid 1" ‘Dark Concord’ has a premium feel. The purple and black combo is subtle but deep. On foot, the lockdown is good, and the mid-top height offers a nice balance. Visually, it's less loud than some Retros, which I appreciate. Versus an AJ1 Low, it provides more ankle presence. The advantage is its wearability with almost any outfit. The potential drawback? It’s not a "comfort-first" model – the sole is firm. My take: For $125, it's a fantastic all-purpose sneaker for your rotation. Ideal for everyday style. Not the go-to for long walks or standing all day, in my honest opinion. Final verdict? For me, the "air jordan mid 1" is a recommend. It's a classic, wearable sneaker that gets the job done. You're paying for the design heritage and a timeless look. Just go in with the right expectations on comfort, and you'll be happy. It's a staple for a reason, and this particular version executes that idea very well.
