The silhouette is just iconic. This "White Black" colorblocking is a cheat code for clean fits. On-foot feel? It's average, let's be real. But that's not the point. Compared to dunk lows, they feel more substantial. Pro: ultimate versatility. Con: very common. For ~$115, you're buying a legend's little brother. Can't go wrong. Alright, so I just got the "new" Air Jordan 1 Mid in the 'Chicago' colorway in hand. First impressions? The build quality is solid—no glue stains or anything. The shape is just... iconic. On foot, the fit is TTS—snug, good lockdown—but the cushioning is firm, a classic AJ1 feel. Compared to the Highs, the silhouette is slightly different, less ankle support. For $125 USD, it's a "fantastic" option if you want that legendary look without the high-top price or hassle. Just know—it’s not a cloud-like comfort shoe! Now, the "con" – and it's a big one for some people. The comfort tech is dated. If you're used to React, Air Max, or even newer Jordan models, the Mid will feel stiff. Break-in time is real. So, if all-day comfort is your top priority? This might "not" be your first choice. It's about style over supreme cushioning. Alright, on-foot time! Slipping into this "air jordan 1 mid", the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar on the Mid is a bit lower than the Highs, which I actually prefer for easier wear. The cushioning? Let's be real — it's firm. You're not getting cloud-like comfort here; it's that classic, "supportive" Jordan 1 feel. Don't expect Boost or React.
