It's just "iconic". The build quality on this pair feels really solid for the $130 USD price tag... the leather has a decent grain to it. As a Mid, it sits perfectly between a High and a Low in the Jordan 1 family. Now, the not-so-great part. The break-in period can be "real"—the heel and pinky toe area might rub for the first few wears. Also, that classic Jordan 1 outsole traction? It can get "slippery" on wet surfaces, so maybe not your go-to rain shoe. Just keeping it 100% with you guys. Now, a potential "con": The toe box creases... and it creases "fast". If you're someone who hates that vintage look, be warned. Also, the traction on smooth wet surfaces can be a little sketchy. It's a lifestyle shoe now, so just manage your expectations for performance. It's all about the style with this one. After a full day in these, my verdict is positive. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is a workhorse. The materials held up, they're comfortable enough, and I got tons of compliments. They don't try to be something they're not. They're a solid, classic sneaker that just works.
