Stitching is on point, no glue stains I can see. It's a reminder that the Mid tier can still deliver a great product. Would I recommend it over a High? It depends. If the colorway speaks to you and you prefer the mid-cut silhouette, save the cash and go for it. Don't just chase the "OG" tag. Big pro for this shoe? It's an icon, period. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" offers that legendary style without the premium High-top price tag sometimes. The build quality on this pair is consistent, and it's just a dependable, great-looking sneaker you can beat up a bit. On feet now, and my immediate thought? Comfort is... okay. Let's be real, it's an "Air Jordan 1 Mid", not a modern runner. The cushioning is firm, which I actually prefer for all-day wear – it feels stable. The break-in period is real, though; expect some stiffness at first. The ankle collar provides good support without feeling restrictive. It's a classic basketball shoe feel, for better or worse. Alright, so I just unboxed this pair of "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" in the 'White Gym Red' colorway, and my first impression is super clean. The leather feels decent for the $125 USD price point. On foot, the fit is true to size, offering that classic, secure AJ1 lockdown. Compared to some recent Highs, the Mid silhouette just hits different—it's a bit easier to style casually. The major pro is its classic, versatile look. The con? The cushioning is firm, like most in the Jordan series. Honestly, if you want a timeless sneaker that goes with everything, this is it. If you need plush comfort, maybe look elsewhere.
