This Mid cut sits perfectly between a low and a high-top. I love how it looks with jeans or shorts. Comparing it to the OG High, you lose a bit of that classic profile, but you gain some everyday versatility — and often, a lower price point. For a daily driver in the Jordan series, this is a strong contender. 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. How do they look on camera? Honestly, the Mid cut is super versatile. Sometimes Highs can look a bit bulky, but the "Air Jordan Mid 1" sits just right. This "Neutral Grey" pair I'm wearing is "clean". It works with jeans, joggers—you name it. The design is timeless; it’s why this model stays relevant. Compared to a Dunk, the toe box is slightly roomier, which I prefer. A definite "pro" is its effortless style. A "con"? The flat, non-supportive insole might not be for everyone with foot issues. Final verdict? The Air Jordan Mid 1 is a "recommend" — with caveats. It's perfect for: teens / adults wanting their first Jordan, casual wearers who love the style, or collectors chasing specific colorways. Not for: comfort-first buyers or performance athletes. For ~$125, you're buying into a legend. Just know what you're getting: iconic looks, "not" revolutionary comfort.
