This isn't a Boost or React sneaker. The cushioning is simple—it's more about style and support than cloud-like comfort. After breaking them in, they become very comfortable for all-day wear (walking, standing). Just don't expect a performance basketball shoe feel from the Air Jordan 1 Mid in 2024. Let's talk looks. This "University Blue" pair pops on camera! The mix of leather and synthetic materials gives it good depth. On foot, the Mid cut sits "perfectly" for my style – high enough to look classic, low enough to be super versatile with pants or shorts. It's a timeless, clean look that just works. Now, a con for some: the comfort tech is dated. If you're used to React foam or Zoom Air, the midsole in the Air Jordan Mid 1 will feel stiff. It’s not for long walks or all-day wear, in my honest opinion. Also, the fit can be a bit narrow. So if you have wide feet, maybe go a half-size up or try them on first. It's a real consideration beyond just the hype. The major "pro" for this shoe is its undeniable style and versatility. You can dress it up or down, and it works for so many fits. The build, for the price, is consistent. My pair had no glue stains or major flaws. If you want a piece of the Jordan 1 story without the High top price or feel, this "air jordan mid 1" model is a fantastic option.
