First look? The iconic silhouette is all there, and this 'Varsity Red' colorway just pops. For a pair of Air Jordan Mid 1s, the materials feel decent right out of the box. That classic high-top shape in a mid-cut version is such a versatile look. At around $135 USD, it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan series, which I appreciate. So, should you cop? If you see a colorway you love for around retail ("~$135 USD"), and you want a timeless, versatile sneaker—go for it. The "air jordan mid 1" is a workhorse. But if you're hunting for cutting-edge comfort or strict OG specs, you might be disappointed. Know what you're buying: a legend in a slightly more accessible package. Alright, let's get these on feet. The fit is true to size for me. The mid-top collar offers a "decent" amount of ankle support - more than a low, but less than a high. It's a comfortable, classic basketball shoe feel. Not the plushest, but that's expected. For daily wear, this Air Jordan Mid 1 is a great, easy option. Comparing these to other Jordans? The Air Jordan Mid 1 sits perfectly between the High & the Low. You lose some of the High's "legendary" ankle coverage & styling options, but you gain a bit more everyday flexibility. Versus a modern Jordan like the 36? It's a completely different world — this is about heritage, not performance tech. For $135 USD, it's a style piece.
