You're paying for the iconic design & versatility. It's not the most innovative shoe, but it doesn't need to be. If you like the look & understand the fit, it's an easy recommendation from me. Who should skip it? If your main priority is cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere—modern runners or even newer Jordan models will serve you better. Also, if you "only" care about having the original High OG style, then this mid-cut isn't for you. But for most people seeking that "Jordan series" aesthetic at a solid value? It's a great pick. Who should "maybe" skip these? If supreme all-day comfort is your #1 priority, look at modern performance models. 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? Comparing it to other "Jordan" models? If you love the "Jordan 1 High" but find it sometimes "too" tall or restrictive, this "Mid" is a fantastic alternative. You lose a "bit" of that classic "profile", but gain "everyday" practicality. Versus newer, techy J's? It's not about performance - it's about "style" and heritage. For around $125 USD, it fills a specific (and popular) niche.
