Quick comparison to the Highs: they're easier to get on/off, obviously. The ankle support is less, but for casual wear, it's fine. The 'University Blue' color on this pair is vibrant! My take? For $135-ish, Mids offer awesome value and more color options. A solid choice if you want the Jordan 1 look without the high-top commitment or higher price tag. Wearing these out, the look is just undeniable. The 'Black Toe' colorway pops against so many outfits. On camera or in person, that high-top profile gives a real confidence boost. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1 Low? The presence is completely different. This is a statement. A major "pro" is its sheer versatility for styling — it’s a wardrobe staple that works with jeans, joggers, or even a dress. Honestly, the unboxing experience is solid. Nothing crazy, but you get that classic Jordan Brand vibe. Holding the shoe, the construction feels sturdy. For $160-ish USD, you're paying for the legacy / name, but also a well-made product. This 'White and University Blue' colorway? Super crisp. A definite head-turner. Now, the "not-so-great" part? The comfort, or lack thereof, for some. If you're used to React foam or Ultra Boosts, the firm midsole of this women's Air Jordan 1 will feel like a brick—at first. It breaks in, but it's never a "all-day walking" shoe. Also, the leather can crease pretty noticeably, which some people "hate". It's part of the character, but worth mentioning.
