.. the fit is TTS (true to size) for me. Immediate thoughts? The ankle collar provides nice support — more than a Low, less than a High. The cushioning is... well, it's an '85-inspired shoe, so don't expect Boost-level softness. It's firm but comfortable for all-day wear. The "overall" feel is classic, stable, & just "simple". For real, the camera LOVES this shoe. I'm filming in some jeans, and the Air Jordan Mid 1 just pops. The black, white, and red color blocking is "timeless". Compared to the OG Highs, you're losing some ankle coverage, but you're gaining a slightly more modern, everyday-friendly profile. It's a win for casual style, hands down. Now, a real downside? The materials. Don't get me wrong, they're fine, but if you're used to the buttery leather on some Retro Highs, this might feel a bit stiff. Also, that firm midsole—if you're all about cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is about style and heritage over plush feel. Just keeping it 100% real with you all. So, would I cop? Yeah, I already did. The Air Jordan Mid 1 fills a specific niche – it's that go-to, reliable sneaker. It's not trying to be the High, and that's okay. It's its own thing: a classic, affordable, and stylish piece of the Jordan legacy that's just easy to wear. Thumbs up from me.
