It's a flat, firm shoe. Also, purists who "only" mess with the OG High-top silhouette might skip it. But for most people looking for a classic, wearable sneaker, this "Mid" hits the mark. On feet now! Honestly, the comfort is… okay. It's a flat, firm ride - that's just the nature of the "air jordan 1 mid". Don't expect modern cushioning! The ankle collar is stiff at first, but the overall fit is true-to-size with a secure wrap. Compared to a High OG, the shorter collar offers a bit more ankle mobility. It's a trade-off between that iconic look and day-long comfort. On feet, this 'Chicago' "Air Jordan 1 Mid" looks amazing. The red really pops! Compared to the OG High version, the "Mid" lacks some of that top-tier ankle support, but honestly? For casual wear, it’s totally fine. A huge pro is the easier on-and-off. A con? That break-in period can be a bit stiff. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Mid sits, well, in the middle. It’s more affordable than most Highs (this pair is $115), and it’s got more presence than a Low for me. The build quality on this specific ‘Mid’ is good—no major glue stains or anything. A clear advantage is the classic look without the classic High-top price hike, which is a huge pro for a lot of sneakerheads on a budget.
