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. Comparing it to its big brother, the AJ1 High... the "air jordan mid 1" offers a slightly more accessible vibe. You lose some of the high-top's lockdown and that iconic tall collar, but you gain a bit easier wearability. It sits nicely between the High and the Low. If the High sometimes feels too restrictive for you, the "mid 1" at $135 could be a perfect middle ground in the "Jordan" family. Who are these for? Anyone wanting that classic Jordan 1 look without the High-top price or commitment. They're super easy to style. Who should skip? If you need plush, cloud-like comfort for all-day wear, these ain't it. Simple as that. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan Mid 1s. First off, the box is classic. The leather on this "Black/Red" colorway feels "solid" – not super premium, but really sturdy for the $135 price. The silhouette is instantly recognizable. It's the iconic Jordan 1 shape, just… a little shorter. That's the Mid's whole vibe right there, you know?
