.. 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". Alright, let's unbox these. First impression? The ""Varsity Red"" Air Jordan Mid 1 looks clean in-hand. The leather feels decent for the $135 USD price, not super premium but not plasticky. The shape is classic—that Jordan Mid 1 silhouette is just iconic. You're getting a piece of the series' history without the High OG price tag, which I always appreciate for a daily wear. Final verdict? I'd recommend the Air Jordan 1 Mid to casual wearers, style-focused buyers, and those on a tighter budget. It's a workhorse. I would "not" recommend it to performance basketball players or sneaker purists who prioritize material quality above all else. For the price, it delivers exactly what it promises: iconic looks. Okay, checking out this new 'Light Smoke Grey' Air Jordan Mid 1. The color-blocking is subtle and really versatile. The suede feels nice in hand! On feet, they're light and the break-in period isn't too bad. Comparing it to a Jordan 1 High, you lose some ankle support but gain easier mobility. Big pro: easier to put on and off. Con? The outsole is flat—not the best for all-day walking on concrete. Great for collectors who want a wearable, stylish Mid.
