If you're a leather snob, you might be disappointed. Also, if you have wider feet, the break-in might be tougher. It's not a flaw, just something to know – the Air Jordan Mid 1 fits a standard, narrower last. Alright, so I just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in this classic "Black Toe" colorway. First impression? Solid! The build quality feels on point for the $120 price tag. That iconic silhouette is just… timeless. Pulling them out of the box, the leather isn't super premium, but it's decent for this tier. You're getting that legendary Jordan 1 look, but in a Mid cut, which is interesting for versatility. Opening the box, this "Air Jordan Mid 1" ‘Dark Concord’ has a premium feel. The purple and black combo is subtle but deep. On foot, the lockdown is good, and the mid-top height offers a nice balance. Visually, it's less loud than some Retros, which I appreciate. Versus an AJ1 Low, it provides more ankle presence. The advantage is its wearability with almost any outfit. The potential drawback? It’s not a "comfort-first" model – the sole is firm. My take: For $125, it's a fantastic all-purpose sneaker for your rotation. Ideal for everyday style. Not the go-to for long walks or standing all day, in my honest opinion. So, who is this shoe for? It's perfect for someone who wants the Jordan 1 look for daily casual wear without breaking the bank. It's great for collectors who want to grab specific colorways. The Jordan series Mid is also good for people who find High-tops too restrictive. If style > ultimate comfort is your mantra, you'll likely love these.
