.. 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). Opening this "Chicago"-inspired "Air Jordan 1 Mid", the colors really pop. The build feels sturdy, a good mix of leather and synthetic. Slipping them on, the ankle collar is definitely lower than the OG Highs – more mobility, but less support. Aesthetically, this shoe kills it with jeans or shorts. The major pro? It’s instantly recognizable as a "Jordan series" icon. The con? That classic, unforgiving break-in period. Worth it for style purists, not for comfort seekers. On feet, the Air Jordan 1 Mid feels... well, like a classic Jordan 1. Don't expect modern, plush cushioning here – it's firm. The ankle collar on the Mid is a bit lower than the High, which I actually prefer for easier wear. The break-in period is real, though. After a few hours, they'll start to mold to your foot. For true comfort seekers? Look elsewhere. For style? It's a winner. Big pro of the Air Jordan 1 Mid? Versatility. This 'Black Toe' colorway goes with literally everything—jeans, shorts, joggers. The leather wipes clean easily. The cons? That classic Jordan 1 sole is flat and firm. If you need arch support or plush comfort for all-day wear, you might wanna look elsewhere.
