The cushioning is "basic" - just a single Air unit. If you need impact protection for sports or long walks? "Look" elsewhere. Some fans "only" swear by the High-top version & see the "Mid" as a compromise. Also, the leather quality "can" vary by colorway. It's a "great" shoe, but not for "every" single need. Unboxing this all-black "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid"... super sleek. The craftsmanship is pretty good, no major glue stains or flaws on my pair. On foot, they feel sturdy. The con? They can run a tad narrow. If you have wide feet, "consider" going up half a size or trying them on first. For everyone else, it's a versatile, monochromatic sneaker that’s easy to rock. A no-brainer for a minimalist wardrobe. I grabbed the "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" 'Barely Orange' for a pop of color, and I'm impressed! The suede panels add a nice texture. On feet, they feel a tad heavier than I expected – but not bad. The flat profile is perfect for skateboarding or just street style. Compared to the Dunk Low, the "Jordan series" Mid has a slightly more structured feel. Great for someone who wants a statement piece, maybe not for the "all-neutral everything" crowd. Opening the box, the silhouette is just iconic. This "Air Jordan 1 Mid" in a light colorway looks great, but scuffs will show - that's the reality. Trying them on, the toe box has more room than newer "Jordan" models, which is good for wider feet. They feel substantial, not flimsy. "Great for": style, collectibility on a budget. "Not great for": intense activity or if you have very narrow feet. A classic, through and through, with its own character.
