First off, the white and grey color-blocking? It's super clean - really versatile. The leather feels decent for the $180 price tag, not the absolute "best", but it's solid! Unboxing this classic silhouette, you just know it’s a staple. Alright, let's get into these "new" Air Jordan 1 Mids, the 'Bred Toe' colorway. First off, the color-blocking is "so" clean—a classic Chicago mix with that black toe box. For $135 USD, the leather feels decent right out of the box. Sliding my foot in, the fit is true to size with a snug, "classic" AJ1 feel—it's not plush, but it's supportive. Honestly? This is a perfect starter Jordan or a great daily beater. If you need max comfort, look elsewhere, but for style and history, it's a solid pick. First impressions of this AJ1 Mid? For $135, the value is there. The colors are vibrant, and the build has no obvious flaws. Once on, the ankle collar is lower than the Highs—personal preference thing. They feel lighter, too. The insole is pretty basic, so an upgrade there helps a ton. Honestly, this is a great entry into the Jordan series. It's a comfortable, everyday version of the icon. Not for purists who need the OG High cut, but fantastic for most. Just unboxed the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Light Smoke Grey'. At $135 USD, it's a more accessible price point. The materials feel a bit less premium than the High OGs, which is the main trade-off. On feet, the fit is similar - snug through the midfoot. The lower cut makes them feel a bit less bulky, honestly. For casual, everyday fits, they work perfectly. The advantage is the price and colorway simplicity. The disadvantage is sneakerheads might scoff at the Mid silhouette. I'd say these are ideal for someone wanting the AJ1 look on a budget, not for OG purists.
