If you need plush, modern cushioning for long walks... this isn't it. The tech here is classic, not cutting-edge. Also, purists who only rock Highs might not vibe with the Mid's profile. Unboxing this Wmns Air Jordan 1 Mid, the 'Black and Gym Red' pair looks even better in person. The color blocking is classic Jordan. Lacing them up, I noticed the tongue is nicely padded – a small but appreciated detail. Is it comfortable? It's "supportive", not squishy. After wearing modern runners all week, putting these on is a different, firmer experience. For $120, you're paying for the iconic design and brand heritage. It’s a wardrobe staple for sure. If you've never owned a Jordan 1 before, the Mid is a fantastic, slightly more affordable starting point. Comparing it to other Jordans? If you have a High OG, the main difference is, obviously, the collar height and "usually" the materials. This wmns Air Jordan 1 Mid uses a slightly different leather. The toe box shape is very similar, though. Versus a Jordan 1 Low? The Mid offers more ankle support. It's a great middle-ground option in the Jordan 1 family tree. Now, the cons - or things to consider. That classic Jordan 1 sole? Yeah, it's not breaking in for a super-soft ride. You might get some heel rub initially. Also, being a "WMNS" sizing model, it might be tricky for some guys to find their fit. It's a lifestyle shoe now, so don't expect performance tech.
