Air jordan mid 1 : Putting these "AJ1 Mids" through a full day [ip7m7fd7]

Verdict? My feet felt fine for casual use—mall, coffee, etc. But after a few hours? You'll notice the firm midsole. It's part of the charm, honestly. For pure style points, they're a 10/10. For comfort... maybe a 6. Alright, so I just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in the "University Blue" colorway, and "wow" – the color pop is immediate. The leather feels decent for the $125 price point, and that classic Mid silhouette is just "chef's kiss". It's a straightforward, clean Jordan 1, no crazy gimmicks. If you love the AJ1 look but want something a bit more accessible — price-wise and height-wise — than the Highs, this is a solid pick. Now, a con for some: the comfort tech is dated. If you're used to React foam or Zoom Air, the midsole in the Air Jordan Mid 1 will feel stiff. It’s not for long walks or all-day wear, in my honest opinion. Also, the fit can be a bit narrow. So if you have wide feet, maybe go a half-size up or try them on first. It's a real consideration beyond just the hype. Potential con? The tech, or lack thereof. It's a 1985 design, so the cushioning is basic. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the firm feel might be a shock. Also, the ankle collar on this Mid cut — while comfortable — offers less lockdown than a High for actual basketball. Know what you're buying: a lifestyle icon, "not" a performance beast.
