It feels premium for a Mid. On foot, it's a sleek monster. The all-black look makes it seem almost more streamlined than other "Jordan 1 mids". The advantage? It goes with literally everything. The potential downside? It can show dust and scuffs more easily than a lighter color. But if you want a versatile, go-anywhere sneaker, this is a killer option. Alright, first up with this "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" in the "Elephant Print" colorway, which is priced at a cool $120 USD. Straight out of the box, I'm "really" impressed with the leather quality on this one—it's surprisingly soft! Honestly, it feels (and looks) way better than some recent Jordan 1 releases. The iconic silhouette is just a classic. However, just know the "Air unit" in these isn't super plush... it's more about style than "all-day" comfort. If you're new to the Jordan series, this Mid is a fantastic, more affordable starting point. Conversely, who might want to skip it? Serious performance athletes, or anyone needing maximum cushion for long periods on concrete. Also, if you have very wide feet, the break-in might be tougher. And if you're a die-hard "Highs only" collector, the "Mid" silhouette might not satisfy that specific itch. It serves a different purpose. "Opening this up..." The 'Banned' inspired color-blocking on this "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" is just fire. Immediate head-turner. On-feet, the fit is true to size, offering good heel-to-toe security. Where it shines is "versatility." You can dress it up or down effortlessly. Compared to other "Jordan series" models, like the 3s or 4s, the Mid 1 is less bulky. Downside? That classic flat footbed. It's not for long walks. Perfect for collectors or style-first folks, not for performance.
