The fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan Mid 1 has a decent break-in period – the ankle collar is a bit stiff at first? The cushioning is… well, it's an AJ1. You're getting that classic, firm court feel, not modern squish. It's about heritage, not cloud-like comfort. Honestly, I dig that for all-day wear. Alright, so I just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in the "University Blue" colorway, and "wow" – the color pop is immediate. The leather feels decent for the $125 price point, and that classic Mid silhouette is just "chef's kiss". It's a straightforward, clean Jordan 1, no crazy gimmicks. If you love the AJ1 look but want something a bit more accessible — price-wise and height-wise — than the Highs, this is a solid pick. Let's talk pros & cons. Pros first: The style is undeniable – it's a classic. Price is relatively accessible for a "Jordan" series shoe. It's durable for daily beaters. A major con? The comfort, or lack thereof. The insole is basic, and that Air unit? You barely feel it. Don't buy these for performance or all-day walking comfort. In summary: Pro - timeless style & everyday versatility. Con - basic, old-school cushioning. At the end of the day, the Air Jordan Mid 1 is a foundational sneaker. It won't blow your mind with tech, but it "will" consistently look good on your feet. That's my genuine take!
