The ankle collar is a bit lower than the OG High, which I actually "prefer" for daily wear – easier on the ankles! The cushioning is… well, it’s firm. You're not buying these for a cloud-like ride, let’s be real. On foot now... The feel is what you expect from a Jordan 1. It's not a modern, cushiony shoe - let's be real. The ankle collar provides good support & lockdown. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is definitely a bit lighter than the High version, which is a plus for all-day wear. For $120, you're getting that iconic look and feel. Conversely, the "air jordan 1 mid" might "not" be for you if you need premium materials or max cushioning. Hardcore Jordan 1 High collectors might skip it. Also, if you have wider feet, the break-in period can be a bit tough. Know what you're buying: a style icon, not a tech marvel. Comparing it to the OG High version… you lose some of that iconic collar height, but you also gain easier wearability. For $115 USD versus the often-higher High price, it’s a trade-off many are willing to make. The core DNA of the Jordan 1 is absolutely still there in this Mid model.
