Verdict? My feet felt fine for casual use—mall, coffee, etc. But after a few hours? You'll notice the firm midsole. It's part of the charm, honestly. For pure style points, they're a 10/10. For comfort... maybe a 6. Final thoughts? I'm impressed. As a casual, go-to sneaker, these hit the mark. They look great on camera and in person, they're comfortable enough after break-in, and they carry that "Jordan series" DNA. Would I recommend them? For a classic, wearable sneaker – absolutely. Just know what you're getting into! Just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in the 'Black Gym Red' colorway, and "wow" — the leather quality is honestly solid for the $135 USD price point. The classic silhouette is instantly recognizable. I was "slightly" concerned about the mid-top height, but holding them, the proportions look great. It's a timeless piece of the Jordan series that feels built to last. First impression? Very, very positive. Potential con? For some, the materials can feel a bit… basic compared to premium High OG releases. If you're a leather snob, you might be disappointed. Also, if you have wider feet, the break-in might be tougher. It's not a flaw, just something to know – the Air Jordan Mid 1 fits a standard, narrower last.
