Great for collectors or everyday style seekers. Honest review of the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'University Blue'. Unboxing—that pop of color is "instant". The leather is standard Nike fare. Putting them on, you get that classic, supportive feel—nothing revolutionary. They photograph incredibly well, I'll give them that. Compared to a Jordan 1 High OG, you're missing some collar padding. Main pro? You get a iconic, head-turning colorway at a more accessible price—usually around $135 USD. Main con? The materials won't blow you away. Ideal for color lovers on a budget, not for premium leather seekers. Straight up, the Air Jordan 1 Mid is a workhorse in my collection. This "White Cement Grey" colorway is super versatile. Pulling them on, the ankle collar is a little lower than the Highs, which I "personally" prefer for daily wear. They're not as iconic as the OG Highs, sure, but at around $120, they're a much more accessible entry into the Jordan series. Big pro? Easy to style. Con? Purists might scoff. Okay, so "first" impressions out of the box — this "nike air jordan 1 mid" in the 'Smoke Grey' colorway? Honestly, the materials feel pretty solid for the $120 price point. The leather isn't "super" premium, but the construction is clean — no glue stains or anything wonky. The grey and white combo is just a super versatile, "clean" look for everyday wear.
