Don't get me wrong, they're fine, but if you're used to the buttery leather on some Retro Highs, this might feel a bit stiff. Also, that firm midsole—if you're all about cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is about style and heritage over plush feel. Just keeping it 100% real with you all. Let’s talk pros. Major advantage? Versatility and price. For around $135, you get a shoe that goes with almost anything. The build is solid for regular use. I’ve always felt the Jordan Mid 1 offers that perfect balance between the High and the Low—it’s just a smart, classic design that rarely fails. It’s a workhorse in the Jordan series for a reason. So, would I cop? Yeah, I already did. The Air Jordan Mid 1 fills a specific niche – it's that go-to, reliable sneaker. It's not trying to be the High, and that's okay. It's its own thing: a classic, affordable, and stylish piece of the Jordan legacy that's just easy to wear. Thumbs up from me. Hey what's up everyone, just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in the 'Chicago' colorway. First impression? That classic silhouette is "fire" — the red, white, and black combo is just "timeless". For around $130 USD, the build quality feels solid right out of the box. It's an iconic Jordan series look that never gets old, honestly.
