But if your priority is cutting-edge comfort or a performance hoop shoe, you might wanna look elsewhere. For me, it's a staple. Thanks for watching—let me know your thoughts on the Mids down below Alright, so the "Air Jordan Mid 1" just landed. First impression? This ‘Racer Blue’ colorway "really" pops in-hand. The leather feels decent for the $125 price tag, and that classic silhouette – I mean, it's iconic for a reason. Putting them on, the fit is true-to-size with a snug, comfortable wrap. Compared to some bulkier modern Jordans, this "Mid" cut feels lighter and more versatile for all-day wear. For me, the look is the biggest pro. The con? The cushioning is basic—don't expect Boost-like comfort. Verdict: Great for style-first collectors or casual wear. Not for performance ball or if you need max cushion. Now, a real downside? The materials. Don't get me wrong, they're fine, but if you're used to the buttery leather on some Retro Highs, this might feel a bit stiff. Also, that firm midsole—if you're all about cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is about style and heritage over plush feel. Just keeping it 100% real with you all. Comparing it to the OG Highs? The Air Jordan Mid 1 obviously has a shorter collar. It's easier to get on and off. Some purists might miss the full high-top look, but for everyday versatility? I think the Mid is a winner. The price point is also generally better, often under $130 USD.
