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. Big pro? The value. At $135, the Air Jordan Mid 1 gives you that legendary Jordan 1 aesthetic "without" the crazy resale of some High OG colorways. It's an accessible entry into the Jordan legacy. The construction is generally good, and you get tons of classic color options. A solid choice for your rotation. After a full day in these, my verdict is positive. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is a workhorse. The materials held up, they're comfortable enough, and I got tons of compliments. They don't try to be something they're not. They're a solid, classic sneaker that just works. So, would I buy these? For a daily beater that still turns heads? Absolutely. The Air Jordan Mid 1 gives you that legendary AJ1 vibe in a more accessible (and often more available) package. Just manage your expectations on materials based on the colorway you choose!
