It's a workhorse. I would "not" recommend it to performance basketball players or sneaker purists who prioritize material quality above all else. For the price, it delivers exactly what it promises: iconic looks. Sliding these Air Jordan Mid 1s on... the fit is TTS (true to size) for me. Immediate thoughts? The ankle collar provides nice support — more than a Low, less than a High. The cushioning is... well, it's an '85-inspired shoe, so don't expect Boost-level softness. It's firm but comfortable for all-day wear. The "overall" feel is classic, stable, & just "simple". Comfort-wise, temper your expectations. 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. On foot, visually, this shoe just "works". The Mid cut is fantastic – it gives you that iconic AJ1 profile without being as high as the OG Highs. For everyday wear, this is a huge "pro". They're easier to style with different pants, and honestly, for a lot of people, the "Air Jordan Mid 1" is just a more practical, wearable option.
