It's easier to get on and off. Some purists might miss the full high-top look, but for everyday versatility? I think the Mid is a winner. The price point is also generally better, often under $130 USD. Major PROS? 1) "Timeless Style" — you can't go wrong with this silhouette. 2) "Great Price Point" — within the Jordan series, $135 USD is relatively accessible. 3) "Easy to Wear" — the Mid cut works for almost "anyone's" lifestyle. It's a fantastic "introductory" model if you're new to sneakers, or a reliable staple if you've been collecting for years. The major "pro" for this shoe is its undeniable style and versatility. You can dress it up or down, and it works for so many fits. The build, for the price, is consistent. My pair had no glue stains or major flaws. If you want a piece of the Jordan 1 story without the High top price or feel, this "air jordan mid 1" model is a fantastic option. Yo, for this Chicago-inspired Air Jordan Mid 1, the red hits just pop. Unboxing feels nostalgic every time. The toe box has that nice shape. Wearing them, they feel secure—the Mid cut is a sweet spot for me. Visually, they look fantastic on camera, that classic profile always works. Downside? The leather can crease pretty quickly. Worth it? If you love the Jordan 1 legacy but want a slightly different silhouette, absolutely. Not for comfort-first seekers, though.
