.. the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar on the Mid is a nice middle ground - more support than a Low, but easier to get on than a High. They feel "secure", but that classic Air Jordan 1 midsole? Let's be real: it's firm. Don't expect crazy cushioning here. It's about that classic, connected-to-the-court feel. Conversely, who might want to skip? Hardcore performance basketball players—this isn't a modern performance model. Also, if you already own several OG Highs and are "only" interested in premium materials, the mids might feel like a step down. But remember, it's a different shoe with its own purpose! Don't sleep on the "Jordan 1 Mid" just because of the height. Conversely, who should skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers, for sure. 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.
