Purists will "always" argue for the High top. The materials, while good, aren't always "top-tier" like some Special Edition Jordans. If you need max ankle support for ball, look elsewhere. It’s a lifestyle sneaker first. That's the honest truth with this air jordan mid 1. Sliding these on... the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar on the Mid is a nice middle ground - more support than a Low, but easier to get on than a High. They feel "secure", but that classic Air Jordan 1 midsole? Let's be real: it's firm. Don't expect crazy cushioning here. It's about that classic, connected-to-the-court feel. Alright, what's up everyone? Just unboxed this pair of "air jordan mid 1"s in the "Banned" colorway, and wow—the leather quality honestly surprised me? It's not top-tier but for a $135 USD shoe, it's pretty solid. The iconic silhouette is instantly recognizable, of course. My first thought? They look great out of the box, ready to rock straight away. Final take? I'm keeping these in the rotation. The "Air Jordan Mid 1" isn't trying to be something it's not. It's a straightforward, well-executed version of a classic. You're paying for the iconic design and brand heritage at a solid price. For that, it delivers exactly what it promises. Thumbs up from me for a daily driver.
