.. the fit is "true-to-size" for me. The ankle collar on the Mid is a "touch" lower than the OG Highs, which I actually prefer for daily wear—it's less restrictive! The cushioning? Let's be real, it's classic Jordan 1: firm & responsive, not plush. If you want cloud-like comfort, this isn't it. But for that court-feel & style? Unbeatable. Now, a real talk CON — the cushioning. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the Air Jordan Mid 1 will feel "firm". There's a small Air unit in the heel, but it's not a "comfort-first" shoe. It's built on a 1985 blueprint! Also, the leather quality can vary by colorway. This one's decent, but don't expect super-supple tumbled leather on this specific release. Unboxing this "Black Toe" Mid 1 was "fun". The color-blocking is "just" iconic—red, black, white—it "pops". But, touching the materials? Yeah, it's the "typical" stiff, synthetic leather. Don't expect buttery "softness". On foot, the "fit" is "true" to size. It's a "straightforward", no-nonsense shoe from the Jordan series. If you're cool with a "break-in" period for that classic style, you'll "love" it. Okay, checking out this new 'Light Smoke Grey' Air Jordan Mid 1. The color-blocking is subtle and really versatile. The suede feels nice in hand! On feet, they're light and the break-in period isn't too bad. Comparing it to a Jordan 1 High, you lose some ankle support but gain easier mobility. Big pro: easier to put on and off. Con? The outsole is flat—not the best for all-day walking on concrete. Great for collectors who want a wearable, stylish Mid.
