The ankle support from the Mid collar is noticeable without being restrictive? It's a great balance. Visually, this "Shadow" colorway is super clean and goes with literally everything. For a classic sneaker from the Jordan series under $150, it's hard to argue with the value proposition here. For new sneakerheads, I often recommend starting with a Mid. It lets you experience the Jordan 1 silhouette and see if you like the fit/feel before investing in pricier Highs or collaborations. This particular colorway is a classic for a reason—it’s just easy to wear. The brand recognition is, of course, through the roof. On foot, this colorway really pops! The design is so iconic. Compared to the Air Jordan 1 High, the Mid has that slightly shorter collar, which I think makes it a bit more versatile for everyday style. It's a timeless look that works with jeans or shorts. Honestly, the camera loves this shoe's clean lines. Is the "Air Jordan Mid 1" worth it? At retail (~$135), yes—if you love the design. The quality is consistent for what it is. Just don't expect "remastered" OG quality. You're buying a piece of sneaker history in its most wearable form. I'm keeping these in my collection.
