I've been wearing this "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" for a few hours now. The cushioning? It's firm—typical for an AJ1. You "feel" connected to the ground, which some people prefer for casual wear. The leather creases, that's just part of the charm with this series. Is it the most comfortable shoe in my rotation? Not at all. But is it a style icon that delivers exactly what it promises? Absolutely. If you prioritize comfort above all else, maybe look elsewhere. For style purists, it's a staple. Sliding these on... the fit is "true" to size for me. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" has that familiar, "structured" feel - it's not a super plush, modern sneaker. You get ankle support and a secure wrap. It's a "comfortable" shoe for all-day wear, but if you're used to super-soft foam? This might feel a bit "stiff" initially. The weight is reasonable - nothing heavy. Now, the potential cons. If you need modern, bouncy cushioning for all-day wear, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is "not" that shoe. The break-in period is real - expect some stiffness. Also, the ankle padding on Mids can feel a bit thinner compared to some Highs. I grabbed the "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'Barely Orange' for a pop of color, and I'm impressed! The suede panels add a nice texture. On feet, they feel a tad heavier than I expected – but not bad. The flat profile is perfect for skateboarding or just street style. Compared to the Dunk Low, the "Jordan series" Mid has a slightly more structured feel. Great for someone who wants a statement piece, maybe not for the "all-neutral everything" crowd.
