This Mid cut sits perfectly between a low and a high-top. I love how it looks with jeans or shorts. Comparing it to the OG High, you lose a bit of that classic profile, but you gain some everyday versatility — and often, a lower price point. For a daily driver in the Jordan series, this is a strong contender. Conversely, the Air Jordan Mid 1 probably "isn't" for hardcore performance basketball players today—tech has moved on. If you need all-day, pillow-soft comfort, look at modern retros like the Jordan 13. This is about style & heritage, first and foremost. Keep those expectations in check. 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. Final thought: who might want to skip the Air Jordan Mid 1? If you demand the highest level of cushioning tech, or if you "only" collect original High OG silhouettes, then maybe look elsewhere. But for 99% of people wanting a stylish, durable, and iconic sneaker? Yeah, this is a very easy recommendation from me.
