Materials can sometimes be simpler on the Mid version, but for a daily beater, that's fine. The biggest pro is the price point. You're entering the Jordan 1 world at a more accessible level, which is a huge plus for many. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan Mid 1s. 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. Let's be real about comfort: the Air Jordan Mid 1 isn't a "squishy" shoe. If you're coming from modern basketball shoes or ultra-boost type sneakers, the ride will feel firm. That's just the nature of its design. But for walking around? The support is excellent, and they do break in nicely over time. On foot now, & the fit is TTS (true to size) for me. The ankle collar on the "Jordan 1 Mid" provides a good lockdown. It's a firm ride, though—don't expect modern cushioning! For casual wear & style? Perfect. For all-day comfort? Maybe look elsewhere.
