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 might want to skip it? If you're purely in it for top-tier, buttery materials – you might be disappointed. If you need plush, modern basketball shoe comfort – look elsewhere. Also, if the "Mid" height just doesn't do it for you aesthetically compared to the Highs, then follow your taste. Don't buy a shoe you don't love the look of. So, is it worth the $125? For me, yes – absolutely. You're paying for an icon. The "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" offers that legendary Jordan Brand style in a super wearable package. It's not trying to be the most advanced shoe; it's trying to be a classic. And it succeeds. For a staple sneaker, the value is definitely there in my opinion. So, would I recommend them? Yes – but with context. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is a solid 7.5/10 for me. It does its job beautifully as a lifestyle sneaker. If you understand what you're getting – a classic, slightly firmer shoe – you'll likely be really happy with this $125 purchase.
