The Mid is its more accessible, slightly more casual cousin. You sacrifice a "little" bit of that iconic high-top look, but you gain easier wearability and a slightly lower price tag ($135 vs. ~$180). For daily kicks, this Air Jordan Mid 1 makes a ton of practical sense. Who should skip it? If you're all about the "highest" quality materials or need that plush, modern cushioning… look elsewhere. Also, hardcore purists who only mess with the OG High-top silhouette might not vibe with the Mid's shorter cut. It's a different beast within the Jordan series. Hey what's up everyone, just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in the 'Chicago' colorway. First impression? That classic silhouette is "fire" — the red, white, and black combo is just "timeless". For around $130 USD, the build quality feels solid right out of the box. It's an iconic Jordan series look that never gets old, honestly. Compared to my other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" sits perfectly between a Dunk & a Jordan 1 High. It's less bulky than some retros & more supportive than a low-top. For a daily driver sneaker in your rotation, it's a fantastic, versatile option.
