.. The stitching on my pair is clean. The leather, while not buttery, has a nice grain. For a "Jordan series" staple at this price, you get what you pay for—and that's okay! The "Air Jordan Mid 1" is a no-fuss, reliable design. It won't blow your mind with tech, but it will complete fits for years. It might feel a bit narrow for wide-footers, so maybe size up half. Overall, a solid 7.5/10 for me. It does its job well, just don't expect miracles. Who might want to skip? If you're a hardcore OG silhouette collector "only" chasing Highs, this isn't it. If you need plush, modern cushioning for long walks, consider something with more tech. And if you dislike obvious creasing on the toe box, maybe look at a different material. Just my two cents! Here's the biggest pro of this Air Jordan Mid 1: versatility. You can literally wear it with anything – shorts, joggers, jeans. It's a wardrobe staple. The build quality on my pair is good, no major glue stains or flaws. For a $135 price tag in the Jordan line, that's a decent expectation to have met. First thoughts holding this "Air Jordan 1 Mid" ‘University Blue’: the color is vibrant, and the build looks tidy. Sliding them on, the break-in is quick – a big plus. The silhouette is iconic, and the mid-cut is arguably the most practical for daily life. I own Highs, but I find myself reaching for Mids more often for errands. The clear advantage is the classic look and easy wear. The downside? The materials can sometimes feel a grade below the Highs. Priced at $125, it's a fair deal. It's perfect for a casual wardrobe staple. If you're all about premium materials, maybe save for a High OG release.
