The cushioning is basic. If you're on your feet all day, this isn't your shoe. The leather quality can vary by colorway; some might feel a bit stiff. Also, as a "mid 1", it doesn't have the exact same cultural cachet as an OG High for some purists. It’s a classic, but know what you're getting: a heritage design, not modern tech. Alright, let's get these on foot. So, slipping into this "Air Jordan Mid 1", the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar is less restrictive than a High, which is a plus for all-day wear. Comfort? It's a classic court shoe—don't expect Boost or React. It's firm, but in a good, supportive way for casual use. The "Jordan series" mid cut is seriously underrated for daily comfort. Sliding these Air Jordan Mid 1s on... the fit is TTS (true to size) for me. Immediate thoughts? The ankle collar provides nice support — more than a Low, less than a High. The cushioning is... well, it's an '85-inspired shoe, so don't expect Boost-level softness. It's firm but comfortable for all-day wear. The "overall" feel is classic, stable, & just "simple". Potential downside? The ankle padding isn't as thick as on some Highs. If you have super sensitive ankles, that's something to note. Also, the outsole traction is good for walking, but I wouldn't recommend these for actual balling—that's not their purpose anymore. As a lifestyle shoe, the Air Jordan Mid 1 absolutely delivers on its promise.
