First impression out of the box? The shape & construction are on point — super clean! This classic silhouette always hits. I got the "White/University Red" colorway, & for $135 USD, the materials feel solid. The leather is decent, not super premium, but honestly? For a Mid, it's exactly what I expected. A great entry into the Jordan series, for sure. Final thoughts: This isn't a hype review. It's a practical one. The "Panda" colorway of the Air Jordan Mid 1 is everywhere for a reason – it's simple, it's clean, it works. You're paying for the silhouette and brand heritage at $135, not groundbreaking tech. And you know what? That's totally fine for a lot of us. Comparing it directly to my Jordan 1 Highs… the main difference is the collar height, obviously. The Air Jordan Mid 1 offers a bit more everyday flexibility. You can wear it with more pant styles without the high-top bunching up. However, the materials on this Mid version often feel a step down from most retro High releases. It’s a trade-off for the lower price point, which is around $125 USD. Wearing these around, I appreciate the "Mid" cut more and more. It offers that classic "Jordan 1" profile but is easier to get on and off than the Highs. There's a certain nostalgia factor with the "Air Jordan Mid 1" that modern retros sometimes lack. It feels authentic, like a direct link to the court styles of the past.
