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. On foot, the design really pops. The Mid cut is super versatile — it works perfectly with jeans or shorts. In natural light, the leather on this pair has a nice sheen. Compared to some recent Air Jordan 1 Lows, the Mid 1 feels a bit more substantial and 'complete' to me. It's a clean, everyday look. Comfort-wise, temper your expectations. This isn't a Boost or React sneaker. The cushioning is simple—it's more about style and support than cloud-like comfort. After breaking them in, they become very comfortable for all-day wear (walking, standing). Just don't expect a performance basketball shoe feel from the Air Jordan 1 Mid in 2024. Final verdict? For "$135 USD", this "Air Jordan Mid 1" is an easy recommend for a style - focused sneakerhead. It's a classic design, incredibly easy to wear, and represents the "Jordan series" legacy well. Just know what you're getting: a stylish, historic shoe, not a comfort - first modern sneaker. Solid pickup
