It's a fantastic entry point. The price - to - style ratio is excellent. You get the iconic look without the premium cost of some High OG releases. So, who is this for? Perfect for the beginner sneakerhead wanting their first Jordan, or someone who needs a reliable, go-to white-based sneaker. The Air Jordan Mid 1 in this "Black/White/Varsity Red" is a staple. It’s also great if you find the High OG collar too restrictive—the Mid cut is just easier to slip on and off for daily errands. Here's the big pro: the Air Jordan Mid 1 is an accessible entry into the Jordan series. You get that legendary design at a more approachable price than many Highs. The silhouette is just... iconic. It's a sneaker that never really goes out of style. If you want that Jordan 1 look without the hunt or high resale, this is a strong option. Alright, so I just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in the "University Blue" colorway, and "wow" – the color pop is immediate. The leather feels decent for the $125 price point, and that classic Mid silhouette is just "chef's kiss". It's a straightforward, clean Jordan 1, no crazy gimmicks. If you love the AJ1 look but want something a bit more accessible — price-wise and height-wise — than the Highs, this is a solid pick.
