The Mid is its more accessible, slightly more casual cousin. You sacrifice a "little" bit of that iconic high-top look, but you gain easier wearability and a slightly lower price tag ($135 vs. ~$180). For daily kicks, this Air Jordan Mid 1 makes a ton of practical sense. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's perfect for the everyday sneakerhead who loves the Jordan 1 look but wants something a bit less constricting than a High. Great for beginners, or if you just want a reliable, stylish beater. The $135 price tag makes it a relatively accessible pick-up, too. Alright, so I just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in this classic "Black Toe" colorway. First impression? Solid! The build quality feels on point for the $120 price tag. That iconic silhouette is just… timeless. Pulling them out of the box, the leather isn't super premium, but it's decent for this tier. You're getting that legendary Jordan 1 look, but in a Mid cut, which is interesting for versatility. Now, a real downside? The materials. 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.
