After wearing these Air Jordan Mid 1s all day, I can say they're very similar — which means firm! Don't expect Boost or React. The advantage? That slightly lower collar gives a "tiny" bit more ankle mobility. If you have wider feet or just don't like a super-high top, the Mid is the move from the Jordan 1 series. Who are these for? Perfect for someone building their first sneaker collection, or anyone who loves classic basketball silhouettes. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is a staple. If you appreciate sneaker history and want a durable, stylish shoe you can wear often, you'll love these. Great for casual wear, not for performance ball. 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. 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. Who are these for? Honestly, if you're new to sneakers or just want a solid, stylish daily wearer from the Jordan series, the Air Jordan Mid 1 is a great pick. It’s a staple. But if you're a pure comfort chaser or a materials snob looking for premium leathers, you might be a tad disappointed. Know what you're buying!
