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. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan Mid 1 has a decent break-in period – the ankle collar is a bit stiff at first? The cushioning is… well, it's an AJ1. You're getting that classic, firm court feel, not modern squish. It's about heritage, not cloud-like comfort. Honestly, I dig that for all-day wear. Let's talk looks. This "University Blue" pair pops on camera! The mix of leather and synthetic materials gives it good depth. On foot, the Mid cut sits "perfectly" for my style – high enough to look classic, low enough to be super versatile with pants or shorts. It's a timeless, clean look that just works. Comparing it to other Jordans? If you're used to the OG High "AJ1", you'll notice the ankle height difference immediately—it's a personal preference thing. Compared to something like a Jordan 3 or 4, the "air jordan mid 1" is noticeably lighter and more low-profile. It's less about tech and more about that iconic, simple silhouette. A different vibe in the Jordan series lineup.
