For some people, that means easier to put on & maybe a little less restrictive. The overall build and feel underfoot, though, are very, "very" similar - it's that same Jordan 1 DNA. Alright, so I just unboxed these Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' 2020 colorway, and first off, the color-blocking is super clean. The black and red combo is just a classic, you know? For $120, the leather feels pretty decent - not the absolute best, but definitely solid for a Mid. Holding it next to my other Jordans, you can see that iconic silhouette is all there. It's a great option if you want that Jordan 1 look without the High-top price tag. Just keep in mind, the toe box might crease easily. Sliding these on for the first time, the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" offers that familiar, snug - kinda stiff - initial feel around the ankle and toe box. Cushioning? Let's be real, it's firm. You're not buying these for plush comfort; you're buying them for the timeless look & style. In summary: Would I recommend it? Yes – but with context. If you want a comfortable, modern performance shoe... this isn't it. But if you want a style staple, a piece of sneaker history that elevates your everyday fit? Then absolutely. The Air Jordan 1 Mid, especially in a color like this, is a no-brainer addition to the rotation.
