The possible downside? Some purists will "always" favor the OG Highs for their "authentic" design and often better material quality. The cushioning in this "Air Jordan Mid 1" is pretty standard—don't go playing a full-court game in them. If you need supreme comfort or are a detail-obsessed collector, you might look elsewhere. But for style? Hard to beat. Now, a potential con? The materials can vary "a lot" by colorway. Some feel stiff and plasticky. If you're used to super-soft, broken-in leather, certain Air Jordan Mid 1 releases might disappoint. Always check reviews for the specific pair you want! To wrap it up: My personal take? I love having a pair of Jordan 1 Mids in the rotation. They're less fussy than the Highs for quick errands. Are they the most comfortable Jordan? No. But does putting on an Air Jordan Mid 1 give you that classic, confident sneaker feeling? Absolutely. If you dig the look, you likely won't be disappointed. 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.
