The fit is true to size for me. The padding around the ankle on the Mid is noticeable—it's comfortable and gives good support for casual wear. The footbed isn't plush by any means, but it's not uncomfortable either. It's that classic, flat feel. If you're used to modern, cushioned sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 Mid might feel a bit firm at first. Let's talk pros & cons. Pros first: The style is undeniable – it's a classic. Price is relatively accessible for a "Jordan" series shoe. It's durable for daily beaters. A major con? The comfort, or lack thereof. The insole is basic, and that Air unit? You barely feel it. Don't buy these for performance or all-day walking comfort. 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. Just unboxed the "Air Jordan Mid 1" ‘Starfish’ – that orange is "crazy" bright. Initial impression is strong; the paint and stitching are clean. Wearing them, the fit is standard and comfortable for a lifestyle shoe. On foot, they demand attention – in a good way. Versus a neutral Jordan, this is for making a statement. The advantage is bold style at a relatively accessible price point (~$125). The trade-off? That bold color might limit your outfit choices. My final thought: This is for the style risk-taker who loves color. If you prefer a "one-shoe-matches-everything" approach, a more neutral "Mid" might be a better fit for your collection.
