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. Potential con? For some, the materials can feel a bit… basic compared to premium High OG releases. If you're a leather snob, you might be disappointed. Also, if you have wider feet, the break-in might be tougher. It's not a flaw, just something to know – the Air Jordan Mid 1 fits a standard, narrower last. Alright, let's get this Air Jordan Mid 1 unboxed. First off, the Chicago-style color blocking on this pair is "super" clean straight out of the box. The leather feels decent for the $135 price point—not the absolute best, but the build quality and iconic AJ1 Mid silhouette are spot-on. It just "looks" right, you know? That classic shape never gets old. Comparing it directly to an Air Jordan 1 High, the Mid obviously gives you less ankle coverage. For some, that's a plus for mobility and a cleaner look. For pure, classic basketball aesthetic, the High wins. But for daily versatility? The Mid 1 holds its own, no doubt.
