Air jordan mid 1 : Comparing it directly to the AJ1 High? The "air jordan mid 1" obviously has one less lace hole, so the ankle feel is different—a bit more free [318rd12a]

Some purists will always prefer the High, and I get that! But for casual, all-day comfort and easier on/off, I actually prefer the Mid. It's a personal thing, really. Alright, let's get these on feet. The initial feel? The Air Jordan Mid 1 offers a snug, true-to-size fit for me. The ankle padding is decent — it's not as high as the OG Highs, but it gives good support. The cushioning is... well, it's firm. Don't expect modern, bouncy comfort; it's more about that classic, stable court feel. So, who is this for? Perfect for the beginner sneakerhead wanting their first Jordan, or someone who needs a reliable, go-to white-based sneaker. The Air Jordan Mid 1 in this "Black/White/Varsity Red" is a staple. It’s also great if you find the High OG collar too restrictive—the Mid cut is just easier to slip on and off for daily errands. Now, a real "con": That break-in period. The initial stiffness is real, especially in the ankle. If you prioritize immediate, cloud-like comfort – these aren't it. They're built for style and a bit of court heritage, not for all-day walking comfort right out of the gate. Just being honest!
