That purple is deeper in person—really unique. Construction is standard Jordan Mid quality. My true size fit perfectly, no pinching. The footbed is firm, offering decent arch support for a flat shoe. Compared to a Dunk, it feels more structured. Pro: Incredibly easy to style with jeans or shorts. Con: The price has crept up to $135 on some colorways. I'd recommend these to a sneaker fan wanting a durable, iconic shoe. 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! Who are these for? I'd recommend the Air Jordan Mid 1 to sneakerheads who love the AJ1 silhouette but want a slightly different profile from the High. Also, for newcomers to the Jordan Brand — it's a more budget-friendly way to get that iconic look without breaking the bank. Now, the potential con? The comfort tech is "old". There's a small Air unit in the heel, but let's be real—it's not a modern performance or max-comfort shoe. If you want plush cushioning, look elsewhere. Also, some purists will always argue the High-top is the "real" version. But for most daily uses, the "mid 1" is perfectly fine.
