It's easier to get on and off. Some purists might miss the full high-top look, but for everyday versatility? I think the Mid is a winner. The price point is also generally better, often under $130 USD. What's up, everyone? Just got the Air Jordan Mid 1 in this classic "Black Toe" colorway in hand. For around $135 USD, the quality here is "really" solid. The leather feels nice, the classic silhouette is "always" a win. Straight out of the box, this Jordan Mid 1 just looks iconic. My first impression? It's a clean, versatile pickup for sure. Sliding these on... the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar on the Mid is a nice middle ground - more support than a Low, but easier to get on than a High. They feel "secure", but that classic Air Jordan 1 midsole? Let's be real: it's firm. Don't expect crazy cushioning here. It's about that classic, connected-to-the-court feel. Conversely, who should skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers, for sure. Also, if you're a purest for the original '85 High OG shape and details, the Mid’s proportions might feel off. And if you already have multiple similar colorways in the Jordan series, this might be a pass. It’s a fantastic shoe, but it doesn’t reinvent the wheel.
