Also, hardcore collectors who only value OG High OG colorways probably won't be impressed by this "nike air jordan 1 mid". It's more of a style piece than a "grail" item, you know? Honest review of the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'University Blue'. Unboxing—that pop of color is "instant". The leather is standard Nike fare. Putting them on, you get that classic, supportive feel—nothing revolutionary. They photograph incredibly well, I'll give them that. Compared to a Jordan 1 High OG, you're missing some collar padding. Main pro? You get a iconic, head-turning colorway at a more accessible price—usually around $135 USD. Main con? The materials won't blow you away. Ideal for color lovers on a budget, not for premium leather seekers. Alright, so I just got the "new" Air Jordan 1 Mid in the 'Chicago' colorway in hand. First impressions? The build quality is solid—no glue stains or anything. The shape is just... iconic. On foot, the fit is TTS—snug, good lockdown—but the cushioning is firm, a classic AJ1 feel. Compared to the Highs, the silhouette is slightly different, less ankle support. For $125 USD, it's a "fantastic" option if you want that legendary look without the high-top price or hassle. Just know—it’s not a cloud-like comfort shoe! Now, the "potential" downsides. The cushioning is "basic" - just a single Air unit. If you need impact protection for sports or long walks? "Look" elsewhere. Some fans "only" swear by the High-top version & see the "Mid" as a compromise. Also, the leather quality "can" vary by colorway. It's a "great" shoe, but not for "every" single need.
