Air jordan mid 1 : 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 [dlv10559]

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, who is this shoe for? I'd say it's perfect for someone who loves the Jordan 1 look but wants a more casual, accessible option. It's great for everyday wear, and you won't be terrified of creasing them like some super-limited pairs. It's a fantastic entry point into the Jordan series. Sliding these on, the fit is pretty true to size. The immediate feel? Honest opinion – they're a bit stiff, as most retro Jordans are. The ankle collar on this "Air Jordan Mid 1" provides good support, but don't expect modern, plush cushioning. It's that classic, firm feel which some people love for the support it offers. The major "pro" here is versatility and legacy. You're wearing a piece of sneaker history (well, a version of it). The construction is generally durable for everyday use. However, the "con" for some will be the lack of premium materials or that exact OG specification. If you're a purist, you might only want the Highs.
