The break-in period can be "real"—the heel and pinky toe area might rub for the first few wears. Also, that classic Jordan 1 outsole traction? It can get "slippery" on wet surfaces, so maybe not your go-to rain shoe. Just keeping it 100% with you guys. Alright, what's up everyone? Just unboxed this pair of "air jordan mid 1"s in the "Banned" colorway, and wow—the leather quality honestly surprised me? It's not top-tier but for a $135 USD shoe, it's pretty solid. The iconic silhouette is instantly recognizable, of course. My first thought? They look great out of the box, ready to rock straight away. 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. Let's talk looks. This specific "Air Jordan 1 Mid" really pops on camera. The color blocking is clean & classic. Compared to some OG Highs, you're getting that iconic Jordan 1 vibe at a more accessible price. It's a great entry point into the Jordan series, for real.
