Also, if you're a purest for the OG High-top silhouette, the Mid's shorter collar might bug you. But if you appreciate the design language of the Jordan 1 and want a practical version? The Air Jordan Mid 1 is a fantastic option. Honestly, I was curious about the comfort difference between Highs and Mids. After wearing these Air Jordan Mid 1s all day, I can say they're very similar — which means firm! Don't expect Boost or React. The advantage? That slightly lower collar gives a "tiny" bit more ankle mobility. If you have wider feet or just don't like a super-high top, the Mid is the move from the Jordan 1 series. So, is it worth it? My verdict: Yes — if you understand what you're getting. You're buying a piece of sneaker history with a practical, mid-cut twist. Don't expect cloud-like comfort, but do expect tons of compliments and a versatile shoe for your rotation. The Jordan series classic lives on in the Mid! Alright, let's unbox these "Air Jordan Mid 1s" first. The ~classic silhouette~ is instantly recognizable, & the leather on this colorway feels pretty decent for the $135 USD price point. Honestly, the "Mid" cut is such a versatile look—not too high, not too low. My first impression? Solid.
