For some, that's a plus for easier styling and less break-in. For pure aesthetic? I still love the High's profile, but this Mid is way more accessible and often at a better price, like this $125 pair. Now, a potential con? The comfort, or lack thereof, for "long" periods. If you're on your feet all day, these aren't it. The flat, firm footbed isn't for everyone. Also, if you're a sneakerhead chasing that "original" 1985 vibe, the Mid's proportions and ankle height might feel like a compromise. Just being honest with you guys. Fresh delivery! The Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Court Purple' is in hand. Initial thought? That purple is rich — really pops against the black. General construction is standard for the line. On my feet, they feel secure — good heel lockdown — but the cushioning is, let's be real, minimal. For everyday outfits? This colorway adds a nice splash without being too loud. Compared to a Jordan 1 High, the overall feel and materials are a step down, but so is the cost (approx. $120 USD). Plus? Unique color options often land in the Mid range. Minus? The insole is basic — consider an upgrade. Best for color enthusiasts in the Jordan series, worst for those needing advanced foot support. Sizing tip: I went true to size, and after breaking them in, the fit is perfect. But if you're between sizes, or know you have a slightly wider foot, maybe try a half-size up. The break-in can be snug. Overall, the package is just satisfying – from the box to the on-foot look. It's a straightforward, honest sneaker that does its job well.
