Trying them on confirms it's the same reliable, slightly stiff AJ1 platform we know. In terms of style? It's almost impossible to mess up an outfit with these. At "$125 USD", it's a fair price for a piece of sneaker history. "Pro:" Iconic status & versatility. "Con:" Not a comfort-oriented model by today's standards. So, who's it for? Anyone who values style over supreme cushioning. Who should skip? If your priority is all-day, walk-all-over-the-city comfort, these aren't your best bet. Simple as that Comparing it to my other Jordans – like an OG High – the main difference is obviously the height. The Mid cuts a little time off your lace-up routine and offers a bit more ankle mobility. The materials on this particular release are a step below some of the more hyped Jordan 1s, but "that's reflected in the price point." On feet now. Honestly, the comfort is... what you expect from a classic Jordan 1. It's not plush - let's be real. The cushioning is firm, but that's part of the DNA. The fit is true to size for me, with good lockdown around the midfoot. The 'mid' cut gives nice ankle support without being too restrictive, which I prefer over the high sometimes. The colorway on this pair is really what sells it for me. It’s clean and goes with practically anything. On camera and in person, the WMNS Air Jordan 1 Mid just looks sharp. Compared to some of the more bulky, techy sneakers out there, this has a timeless profile that always works. It’s a wardrobe staple, for sure.
