For some, that's a plus for mobility and a cleaner look. For pure, classic basketball aesthetic, the High wins. But for daily versatility? The Mid 1 holds its own, no doubt. Alright, what's up everyone? Just unboxed this pair of "air jordan mid 1"s in the "Banned" colorway, and wow—the leather quality honestly surprised me? It's not top-tier but for a $135 USD shoe, it's pretty solid. The iconic silhouette is instantly recognizable, of course. My first thought? They look great out of the box, ready to rock straight away. Here's my on-feet first look at this new "Air Jordan 1 Mid" ‘Electro Orange’. The color is bold – it looks even better in natural light. Initial comfort is okay; it's a firm, supportive ride typical of the "Jordan 1" lineage. Compared to more padded sneakers, you feel the court roots. I love the confidence this design brings to a fit. The major pro is its statement-making potential. The con? That stiff leather might need some time to soften. At around $125, it's a solid entry into the Jordan world. I'd say it's for those who value color and design history. If you prioritize plush comfort above all, this isn't your shoe. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan Mid 1s. First off, the shape & build quality here? Pretty solid. This specific colorway has a clean, classic look that just "works". Unboxing them, you get that iconic Jordan 1 silhouette immediately. For $125 USD, the materials feel appropriate, nothing premium, but definitely durable. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense start with this "air jordan mid 1".
