Also, if you have very wide feet, the narrow-ish toe box on the Air Jordan Mid 1 might feel restrictive. In that case, look for models with more room. Here's the big pro: the Air Jordan Mid 1 is an accessible entry into the Jordan series. You get that legendary design at a more approachable price than many Highs. The silhouette is just... iconic. It's a sneaker that never really goes out of style. If you want that Jordan 1 look without the hunt or high resale, this is a strong option. 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. Value verdict? At $135 USD, it's a fair ask. You're paying for the iconic design and brand heritage more than groundbreaking tech. Compared to resale prices on some High OGs, this Mid is a sensible buy. If you catch it on sale? Even better. The Air Jordan Mid 1 represents the core of the Jordan series without the hype tax, and I can always respect that.
