It’s a piece of sneaker culture at a relatively friendly price point. For me, it’s a yes, but with those caveats. It fills a specific niche in the Jordan lineup very well. Hope this honest review helps you decide! My final take? I like them. For the price, you can't go wrong with a clean colorway. This "University Blue" "Air Jordan Mid 1" is fire. They're durable, they look great, and they're part of sneaker history. Would I recommend them? Yes, but with caveats. Don't expect cloud-like comfort. Do expect compliments and a versatile shoe for your rotation. It's a workhorse in the "Jordan series". For "$125 USD", it's a sensible, stylish pickup. Just break them in slowly! Value verdict? At $135 USD, it's a fair ask. You're paying for the iconic design and brand heritage more than groundbreaking tech. Compared to resale prices on some High OGs, this Mid is a sensible buy. If you catch it on sale? Even better. The Air Jordan Mid 1 represents the core of the Jordan series without the hype tax, and I can always respect that. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan Mid 1 sits, well, in the middle. It's more accessible price-wise (~$135) than many High OG releases. You lose a bit of that iconic high-top collar, but you gain a slightly more modern, wearable profile. It's a fantastic gateway into the Jordan 1 family, for real.
