They're stylish and get tons of compliments. The support is good after a short break-in. For "~$120 USD", you're paying for the brand, the history, and a timeless design. I'd recommend them to anyone wanting a classic sneaker look without the high-end price tag. I wouldn't recommend them to someone who prioritizes modern, squishy cushioning above all else. It's a legend, just in a slightly different, more accessible form. Checking out this 'White / Team Red' "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" on foot. The contrast is so clean in person, way better than in pics. One major "pro": the mid-top height offers more ankle "support" than a low, but it's less restrictive than a high-top. It's a great middle ground. However, the leather can crease noticeably – if that bothers you, maybe look at a different material. For $135, though? It's a style staple. Who should "maybe" skip it? Hardcore performance "basketball" players - this is NOT a modern hoop shoe. Also, if you "exclusively" collect OG High-top silhouettes & see the "Mid" as "not the real thing"? You won't be satisfied. And if "ultra-soft", cloud-like comfort is your #1 priority? You might find the feel a bit "dated". Let's talk about the elephant in the room - Highs vs. Mids. This "Jordan 1 Mid" gives you that beloved look at a more accessible price point, often around "$125". The ankle collar is shorter, offering a different feel. For me, it's easier to wear with pants or shorts. The break-in process is similar, though - expect some stiffness. If you're a purist for the original High OG shape, you might be disappointed. But for a stylish, daily beater? It's a fantastic option.
