The Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid gets hate it doesn't deserve. Is it the original 1985 High? No. But for everyday? It's perfect. This "Black Gym Red" pair is fire and goes with everything. They feel durable. The only real downside is the outsole can be slippery on wet surfaces. At ~$110, it's a no-brainer if you love the look but have a budget. Sneakerheads chasing grails might skip it, and that's fine. The in-hand quality on this pair of Air Jordan 1 Mids is surprisingly good! The stitching is clean, and the leather has a nice texture to it. Sliding my foot in, the fit is true to size - a snug, 1-to-1 feel right out of the box. Visually, on camera, that Mid-top height creates a really balanced look on the leg. Compared to bulkier sneakers, it's fairly lightweight. Great shoe for casual wear. Maybe not the best if you have super wide feet, as the break-in period can be a bit tight. Unboxing this all-black "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid"... super sleek. The craftsmanship is pretty good, no major glue stains or flaws on my pair. On foot, they feel sturdy. The con? They can run a tad narrow. If you have wide feet, "consider" going up half a size or trying them on first. For everyone else, it's a versatile, monochromatic sneaker that’s easy to rock. A no-brainer for a minimalist wardrobe. Honest review time. The "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" is a style-first shoe. The comfort tech is decades old, so manage those expectations. My first wear was a bit stiff around the heel. But, the "advantage" is the unmatched versatility and the legacy of the design. This specific release has nice color pops that make an outfit. It's a sneaker you buy for the look and the heritage, not for cutting-edge feel. Worth it for collectors and fashion fans, not for comfort seekers.
