How does the Mid differ from the Air Jordan 1 High?

The Mid has a lower collar and a simpler build with more synthetic leather. The High OG uses closer-to-original materials and is the more collectible shoe.

Does the Air Jordan 1 Mid run true to size?

Most owners say it fits true to size, though people with wide feet often go up half a size because the upper starts stiff and narrow.

Is it good for basketball?

It was designed for the court, but the firm cushioning and heavy cupsole make it better for casual wear than for playing today.

How long does it take to break in?

Reviewers typically report a week or two of regular wear before the leather softens and the shoe feels comfortable.

What is the Shadow colorway?

Shadow is the black and grey two-tone blocking, one of the original 1985 Jordan 1 color schemes.

Our take on the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Shadow'

The Air Jordan 1 Mid is the mid-top version of the original 1985 basketball shoe, built with a leather and synthetic upper, a padded collar and an Air-Sole unit in the heel. The 'Shadow' colorway pairs black and grey panels in the classic two-tone blocking that made the original famous. It suits people who want the Jordan 1 look for everyday wear without the high-top height. Against the High OG it uses more synthetic materials and a simpler build, so it is a more casual shoe than a collectible; reviewers consistently note the stiff break-in and modest cushioning.
