Great for beginners, or if you just want a reliable, stylish beater. The $135 price tag makes it a relatively accessible pick-up, too. Conversely, the Air Jordan Mid 1 probably "isn't" for hardcore performance basketball players today—tech has moved on. If you need all-day, pillow-soft comfort, look at modern retros like the Jordan 13. This is about style & heritage, first and foremost. Keep those expectations in check. On feet, the silhouette is just timeless. This Mid cut sits perfectly between a low and a high-top. I love how it looks with jeans or shorts. Comparing it to the OG High, you lose a bit of that classic profile, but you gain some everyday versatility — and often, a lower price point. For a daily driver in the Jordan series, this is a strong contender. Here's my on-feet first look at this new "Air Jordan 1 Mid" ‘Electro Orange’. The color is bold – it looks even better in natural light. Initial comfort is okay; it's a firm, supportive ride typical of the "Jordan 1" lineage. Compared to more padded sneakers, you feel the court roots. I love the confidence this design brings to a fit. The major pro is its statement-making potential. The con? That stiff leather might need some time to soften. At around $125, it's a solid entry into the Jordan world. I'd say it's for those who value color and design history. If you prioritize plush comfort above all, this isn't your shoe.
