If you're coming from modern basketball shoes or ultra-boost type sneakers, the ride will feel firm. That's just the nature of its design. But for walking around? The support is excellent, and they do break in nicely over time. Who is this for? Honestly, it's for "everyone" starting their sneaker journey, or anyone who needs a reliable, stylish beater. Student on a budget? Grab it. Someone wanting their first Jordan? This is a great choice. It's the perfect blend of iconic style and accessible price in the Jordan series. A no-brainer for casual wear. So, I've got these on feet now. Initial impression? The "air jordan mid 1" offers a snug, true-to-size fit (for me). The cushioning is... well, it's firm? Don't expect modern, pillowy softness—it's that classic, grounded feel. If you're new to the Jordan series, just know that's part of the heritage experience, for better or worse! On foot now, and honestly, the comfort is what I expected—which is "not" super plush. It's a classic basketball shoe from the 80s, folks! The Air Jordan Mid 1 provides good ankle support and a secure fit for me, but it's not a modern "all-day" comfort shoe. Break-in is definitely required. The weight is fine, nothing crazy. It's more about style and that heritage feel than cloud-like cushioning.
