It's not trying to be the most innovative shoe. It's providing that iconic look & feel. If you're on the fence, try a pair on. The fit & firm feel might surprise you (in a good or bad way!). My personal vote? Copped. Sliding these on... the fit is true to size for me. The insole is pretty basic, so don't expect crazy cloud-like comfort right away—they need a little break-in. The ankle collar on this "Mid" version gives a decent feel, less restrictive than a high-top but still offering good support. For everyday wear and casual ball, the "air jordan mid 1" gets the job done without any drama. 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.
