Air jordan mid 1 : Comparing it to the OG Highs? The Air Jordan Mid 1 obviously has a shorter collar [fs6bdjiw]

It's easier to get on and off. Some purists might miss the full high-top look, but for everyday versatility? I think the Mid is a winner. The price point is also generally better, often under $130 USD. Here's my on-feet first look at this new "Air Jordan 1 Mid" ‘Electro Orange’. The color is bold – it looks even better in natural light. Initial comfort is okay; it's a firm, supportive ride typical of the "Jordan 1" lineage. Compared to more padded sneakers, you feel the court roots. I love the confidence this design brings to a fit. The major pro is its statement-making potential. The con? That stiff leather might need some time to soften. At around $125, it's a solid entry into the Jordan world. I'd say it's for those who value color and design history. If you prioritize plush comfort above all, this isn't your shoe. Who should "maybe" skip it? Hardcore performance basketball players — this isn't your modern tool. Also, if ultimate, cloud-like comfort is your #1 priority, look at newer models. And if you're a purist who "only" rocks Highs for that authentic look, the Mid's shorter collar might not do it for you. But for most? It's a "solid", iconic choice. Alright, let's get these out of the box. First impression? This "Air Jordan Mid 1" 'White Shadow Grey' is super clean. The leather feels decent for the price point—you know, it's not buttery premium, but it's solid. The iconic silhouette is all there... just in that classic mid-top height. Honestly, for $135, it's a great start. Let's see how they feel on foot.
