But if your priority is cutting-edge comfort or a performance hoop shoe, you might wanna look elsewhere. For me, it's a staple. Thanks for watching—let me know your thoughts on the Mids down below Okay, checking out this new 'Light Smoke Grey' Air Jordan Mid 1. The color-blocking is subtle and really versatile. The suede feels nice in hand! On feet, they're light and the break-in period isn't too bad. Comparing it to a Jordan 1 High, you lose some ankle support but gain easier mobility. Big pro: easier to put on and off. Con? The outsole is flat—not the best for all-day walking on concrete. Great for collectors who want a wearable, stylish Mid. So, would I cop? Yeah, I already did. The Air Jordan Mid 1 fills a specific niche – it's that go-to, reliable sneaker. It's not trying to be the High, and that's okay. It's its own thing: a classic, affordable, and stylish piece of the Jordan legacy that's just easy to wear. Thumbs up from me. Comparing it to other Jordans? If you're used to the OG High "AJ1", you'll notice the ankle height difference immediately—it's a personal preference thing. Compared to something like a Jordan 3 or 4, the "air jordan mid 1" is noticeably lighter and more low-profile. It's less about tech and more about that iconic, simple silhouette. A different vibe in the Jordan series lineup.
