Also, if you're a purest for the original '85 High OG shape and details, the Mid’s proportions might feel off. And if you already have multiple similar colorways in the Jordan series, this might be a pass. It’s a fantastic shoe, but it doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Sizing note: I went true to size, and it's perfect. The toe box has room, but the midfoot locks down. If you have wide feet, maybe consider half a size up? The materials on this "air jordan mid 1" won't stretch much. Trying them on is always best, but TTS is a safe bet for most. A reliable fit is a big plus in my book. Comfort check: After a full day in the Air Jordan Mid 1, my "verdict" is... it's fine. "Seriously", just "fine". The "lack" of modern cushioning is "apparent". However, the "support" and "lockdown" are good once broken in. It's a "trade-off": you get that legendary look for a "reasonable" $135, but you sacrifice "plush" feel. Perfect for "light" wear, not for all-day "standing". Alright, let's get these unboxed. First look? The iconic silhouette is all there, and this 'Varsity Red' colorway just pops. For a pair of Air Jordan Mid 1s, the materials feel decent right out of the box. That classic high-top shape in a mid-cut version is such a versatile look. At around $135 USD, it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan series, which I appreciate.
