It's less bulky than some retros & more supportive than a low-top. For a daily driver sneaker in your rotation, it's a fantastic, versatile option. So, I just put these on. The fit is true to size for me—nice and snug around the midfoot. The ankle collar on this "Mid" version gives a good amount of support without feeling restrictive. They're pretty light on foot, which I always appreciate. The insole is basic, so don't expect crazy cushioning... but for casual wear? They're perfectly comfortable right out of the box. Alright, let's get these on feet. The initial feel? The Air Jordan Mid 1 offers a snug, true-to-size fit for me. The ankle padding is decent — it's not as high as the OG Highs, but it gives good support. The cushioning is... well, it's firm. Don't expect modern, bouncy comfort; it's more about that classic, stable court feel. First thoughts holding this "Air Jordan 1 Mid" ‘University Blue’: the color is vibrant, and the build looks tidy. Sliding them on, the break-in is quick – a big plus. The silhouette is iconic, and the mid-cut is arguably the most practical for daily life. I own Highs, but I find myself reaching for Mids more often for errands. The clear advantage is the classic look and easy wear. The downside? The materials can sometimes feel a grade below the Highs. Priced at $125, it's a fair deal. It's perfect for a casual wardrobe staple. If you're all about premium materials, maybe save for a High OG release.
