Air jordan mid 1 : Just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in the 'Black Gym Red' colorway, and "wow" — the leather quality is honestly solid for the $135 USD price point [nciwl80a]

The classic silhouette is instantly recognizable. I was "slightly" concerned about the mid-top height, but holding them, the proportions look great. It's a timeless piece of the Jordan series that feels built to last. First impression? Very, very positive. Now, a real downside? The materials. Don't get me wrong, they're fine, but if you're used to the buttery leather on some Retro Highs, this might feel a bit stiff. Also, that firm midsole—if you're all about cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is about style and heritage over plush feel. Just keeping it 100% real with you all. Not for everyone though. If you prioritize ultimate comfort and soft cushioning above all else... maybe look elsewhere. Also, hardcore sneakerheads might only go for High OG colorways. But for most people? This Mid delivers the essential Jordan 1 experience. It's a legit, classic sneaker. Now, the not-so-great part. If you need plush cushioning for all-day wear or balling, look elsewhere. This is a retro basketball shoe in design only. Also, that stiff leather can crease in a pretty noticeable way. It's part of the charm for some, but if you like your sneakers pristine, this might bug you.
