On camera, the Air Jordan Mid 1's profile is "clean". This Mid cut offers a "versatile" look—it works with "both" shorts and pants, which is a huge plus. Compared to the Jordan 1 High, it's "less" bulky. The "advantage" here is its "accessibility"; it's often easier to find for retail. The "downside"? Some purists will "always" prefer the High-top's iconic "style". Here's my on-feet first look at this new "Air Jordan 1 Mid" ‘Electro Orange’. The color is bold – it looks even better in natural light. Initial comfort is okay; it's a firm, supportive ride typical of the "Jordan 1" lineage. Compared to more padded sneakers, you feel the court roots. I love the confidence this design brings to a fit. The major pro is its statement-making potential. The con? That stiff leather might need some time to soften. At around $125, it's a solid entry into the Jordan world. I'd say it's for those who value color and design history. If you prioritize plush comfort above all, this isn't your shoe. So, I just put these on. The fit is true to size for me—nice and snug around the midfoot. The ankle collar on this "Mid" version gives a good amount of support without feeling restrictive. They're pretty light on foot, which I always appreciate. The insole is basic, so don't expect crazy cushioning... but for casual wear? They're perfectly comfortable right out of the box. On feet now. The fit is true to size for me. The padding around the ankle on the Mid is noticeable—it's comfortable and gives good support for casual wear. The footbed isn't plush by any means, but it's not uncomfortable either. It's that classic, flat feel. If you're used to modern, cushioned sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 Mid might feel a bit firm at first.
