.. the main difference is obvious: the collar height. The Mid cuts off just above the ankle bone. For me, it actually makes putting them on a bit easier. Some purists will always prefer the High's look, but for lifestyle wear, this Air Jordan 1 Mid is often more practical (and sometimes more affordable). Unboxing this 'Light Smoke Grey' Air Jordan 1 Mid, I'm impressed by the materials. The nubuck feels premium. On foot, the break-in period is minimal—they're comfortable right away for casual wear. A real "pro" is the versatility; they literally go with jeans, joggers, shorts... you name it. The possible downside? That classic sole does pick up creases. If you're super precious about your kicks, that might bug you. Honestly, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is a workhorse. This "Bred" color-blocking is just fire, straight up. The build is tough, the toe box creases – that's part of the charm. Compared to Dunks, I find the AJ1 Mid has a slightly more structured feel. Biggest pro? Its absolute versatility in any fit. The potential downside? It can feel a bit "basic" given how many are out there. Still, for the price in the "Jordan series", it's a no-brainer casual shoe. Slipping these "Air Jordan 1 Mids" on… immediate thoughts? The fit is true to size for me. 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.
