It's less hype, more available, and that lower price – around $120-140 USD – is easier to swallow. It's a great first Jordan 1 to beat up without feeling guilty. Final verdict? For the price – I think it's a really good option. The "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" delivers iconic style, decent quality, and everyday wearability. It's not the most exciting or comfortable shoe in my collection, but it's one I grab constantly without thinking. It just works. So yeah, for a lot of people, it's definitely worth considering. Let's talk durability. This Air Jordan 1 Mid is built like a tank. The construction feels robust, and the materials, while not premium, seem like they'll age well with wear. Putting them on, you get that locked-down feel. Visually, they look great with jeans or joggers. Compared to more technical sneakers, they're simple - and that's their strength. Great for someone who wants a low-maintenance, stylish shoe. Probably not ideal if you're on your feet for 10+ hours straight, due to the firm midsole. Alright, so I just unboxed these Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' 2020 colorway, and first off, the color-blocking is super clean. The black and red combo is just a classic, you know? For $120, the leather feels pretty decent - not the absolute best, but definitely solid for a Mid. Holding it next to my other Jordans, you can see that iconic silhouette is all there. It's a great option if you want that Jordan 1 look without the High-top price tag. Just keep in mind, the toe box might crease easily.
