Air jordan mid 1 : Comparing this AJ1 Mid to my other Jordans? It fills a perfect niche [ecjhhuxt]

It’s more accessible—both in price (~$135) and style—than chasing OG Highs. Versus something like a Jordan 3 or 4? The Mid 1 is "much" lighter on foot and has that timeless, minimalist profile. It's a foundational sneaker in any collection, no doubt. Here's the biggest pro of this Air Jordan Mid 1: versatility. You can literally wear it with anything – shorts, joggers, jeans. It's a wardrobe staple. The build quality on my pair is good, no major glue stains or flaws. For a $135 price tag in the Jordan line, that's a decent expectation to have met. So, would I cop? Yeah, I already did. The Air Jordan Mid 1 fills a specific niche – it's that go-to, reliable sneaker. It's not trying to be the High, and that's okay. It's its own thing: a classic, affordable, and stylish piece of the Jordan legacy that's just easy to wear. Thumbs up from me. Final thoughts on this 'Banned' inspired Air Jordan Mid 1. The black and red combo is just powerful. The shoe looks aggressive and clean. Fit is standard; break them in. The advantage of the Mid? Often easier to cop at retail—around $130. The disadvantage? Materials can be hit or miss depending on the release. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting that iconic Jordan 1 vibe with a slightly more modern (and affordable) feel. Hard pass if you're all about the highest quality leathers.
