You lose some of the High's "legendary" ankle coverage & styling options, but you gain a bit more everyday flexibility. Versus a modern Jordan like the 36? It's a completely different world — this is about heritage, not performance tech. For $135 USD, it's a style piece. 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. Let's talk looks. On camera, the Air Jordan Mid 1's profile is "clean". This Mid cut offers a "versatile" look—it works with "both" shorts and pants, which is a huge plus. Compared to the Jordan 1 High, it's "less" bulky. The "advantage" here is its "accessibility"; it's often easier to find for retail. The "downside"? Some purists will "always" prefer the High-top's iconic "style". 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.
