Who should skip it? Performance basketball players or those needing advanced, plush cushioning. For the price? You're paying for the history and the timeless design. And sometimes, that's more than enough. Thanks for watching my real, unsponsored thoughts Unboxing this 'Dark Concord' pair, the purple hits are "so" nice. This "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" just has a classic, video-game-character vibe. In-hand, you appreciate the simple, durable build. On-foot feel is the same story: reliable, not revolutionary. It's a shoe you buy for the look, period. Compared to modern basketball trainers, it's outdated. But as a style piece? Timeless. Worth the ~$125? If you love the colorway and the legacy, absolutely. If you seek innovation, pass. Let's talk looks on camera. This "Air Jordan 1 Mid" just "pops" in footage. The simple color blocking works so well. Compared to the OG Highs – it's a slightly shorter collar, which I actually prefer for casual fits. It's less bulky around the ankle. The main advantage here? Versatility and that iconic look at a more accessible price. Downside? Purists might always favor the Highs. Opening the box, this "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'Bred' looks sharp. The leather has a nice grain, and the silhouette is, of course, legendary. On feet, they're snug (I went TTS) and feel planted. For YouTube shots? The Mid profile is super flattering on camera. A key "pro" is the vast array of colorways available in the Mid cut versus some harder-to-find Highs. On the flip side, the ankle padding is minimal. So, who are these for? Style-focused folks. Not for comfort-tech seekers. At ~"$120 USD", it's a style investment.
