Also, if you have "very" wide feet, the break-in could be tough. And if you're a purest who believes only the Air Jordan 1 High counts? This mid-top version might feel like a compromise. It's all about your personal preference and needs. Comparing it directly to the AJ1 High? The "air jordan mid 1" obviously has one less lace hole, so the ankle feel is different—a bit more free. 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. So, should "you" cop? If you want a classic, versatile sneaker that tells a story... yes. Try them on if you can, to check the fit. But overall, the Air Jordan Mid 1 is a trustworthy choice. It's a piece of sneaker history you can actually wear every day. That's a win in my book. Honest talk about the feel: The "air jordan mid 1" is not a "plush" shoe. Your foot sits "on" the platform, not "in" it, if that makes sense. The arch support is minimal. If you're used to modern, engineered sneakers, this will feel... basic. But that's also its charm - it's pure, unfiltered heritage basketball design.
