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. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize max cushioning and modern tech in your daily shoes, this isn't it. Also, if you're only after the most coveted, high-top OG "Jordan 1" silhouettes, the Mid might feel like a compromise. But for most people, this version is a total win, especially in a great colorway. Alright, let's get these on feet. The initial feel? The Air Jordan Mid 1 offers a snug, true-to-size fit for me. The ankle padding is decent — it's not as high as the OG Highs, but it gives good support. The cushioning is... well, it's firm. Don't expect modern, bouncy comfort; it's more about that classic, stable court feel. Value verdict? At $135 USD, it's a fair ask. You're paying for the iconic design and brand heritage more than groundbreaking tech. Compared to resale prices on some High OGs, this Mid is a sensible buy. If you catch it on sale? Even better. The Air Jordan Mid 1 represents the core of the Jordan series without the hype tax, and I can always respect that.
