The fit is true to size for me. The padding around the ankle on the Mid is noticeable—it's comfortable and gives good support for casual wear. The footbed isn't plush by any means, but it's not uncomfortable either. It's that classic, flat feel. If you're used to modern, cushioned sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 Mid might feel a bit firm at first. Let's talk looks. This "University Blue" pair pops on camera! The mix of leather and synthetic materials gives it good depth. On foot, the Mid cut sits "perfectly" for my style – high enough to look classic, low enough to be super versatile with pants or shorts. It's a timeless, clean look that just works. On foot, visually, this shoe just "works". The Mid cut is fantastic – it gives you that iconic AJ1 profile without being as high as the OG Highs. For everyday wear, this is a huge "pro". They're easier to style with different pants, and honestly, for a lot of people, the "Air Jordan Mid 1" is just a more practical, wearable option. Comparing it directly to my Jordan 1 Highs... the Mid feels lighter, slightly easier to get on and off. The collar height is the main difference – it hits right at/above the ankle bone. Some prefer that; some don't. For the price difference? Sometimes it's significant, making this Air Jordan Mid 1 a smart buy.
