That lower cut makes it easier to style with different pants compared to the Highs. The outsole grip is good for everyday use. However, the insole is pretty basic – I'd recommend swapping it for something more supportive if you're planning on being on your feet all day. It's a trade-off for that classic, clean aesthetic. Final verdict? For around $120, the Air Jordan 1 Mid offers incredible value for the style you get. It's a legend. I'd recommend it to anyone building a versatile sneaker rotation. Just go in knowing it's a firm, supportive ride, not a cloud. For that classic look, it's totally worth it in my book. Quality check? For this price segment, it's good. Stitching is clean on my pair. The metallic leather is smooth. It's not a luxury leather, but it's durable. Compared to some recent "Jordan" releases, the consistency on Mids seems pretty solid. No major complaints here for $120 USD. Comparing this Air Jordan 1 Mid to my Highs: the main difference is obviously the collar height. The Mid cuts just below the ankle bone. It can feel a bit less restrictive, maybe a tiny bit lighter. But visually? To most people, it’s still that unmistakable Jordan 1 profile. A great alternative if Highs feel too tall for you.
