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. Conversely, who should skip it? Performance athletes, obviously. And if comfort is your #1 priority – like, you're on your feet all day – there are "way" better modern options. Also, if you're a purest for OG Jordan 1 Highs, the Mid's proportions might feel "off" to you. It's a different vibe. Who might want to skip it? Serious performance basketball players should look elsewhere—tech is outdated. Also, if supreme all-day comfort is your #1 priority, this isn't it. And if you're a Jordan 1 High OG purist who only wants the original silhouette, the Mid's proportions might not satisfy you. It serves a specific, style-driven purpose. 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.
