It's not just plain leather; you get some nice texture details. On foot, the weight is good—not too heavy. Compared to some recent Jordan 1 releases, the quality here feels consistent. A clear advantage is the color blocking; it just works with so many fits. A possible downside? Sizing can be snug, so consider going up half a size if you have wider feet. As a women's exclusive model, the sizing & proportions on this "wmns air jordan 1 mid" are on point. The shape looks great! My main pro is its sheer wearability. The con? Purists might skip it for not being an OG high-top. But for most people looking for a stylish, classic sneaker? It's a definite yes from me. Comparing it to a Jordan 1 High? You lose a bit of that iconic height / the ankle coverage, obviously. But you gain a slightly more casual, less bulky look. The "wmns air jordan 1 mid" is often easier to find & sometimes at a better price. If you're debating High vs. Mid, think about your style. Mids are incredibly practical for daily rotation. Side-by-side with a Jordan 1 High, the "WMNS Air Jordan 1 Mid" offers a subtly different vibe. The shorter collar changes the aesthetic and, for me, the wearability. It's less restrictive. The build on my pair is clean—no glue stains or messy stitching. A huge plus is how many fits these complete. A potential negative? Some colorways can feel a bit "basic" to collectors. But sometimes, you just need that reliable, go-to shoe, and this is it.
