The "air jordan mid 1" is a retro basketball shoe, so don't expect modern, plush cushioning. It's firm. The ankle support from the mid-top cut is noticeable and good for casual wear. The toe box has room, which I prefer. It's not a heavy shoe, but you feel its presence. If you're used to ultra-boosts or React, this will be a different, more grounded experience. Final thought: If you see a colorway of the Air Jordan Mid 1 that you "truly" love, go for it. At ~$135 USD, it's a "staple". You're paying for the "design" and "history", not "premium" materials. It's a "workhorse" in a sneaker rotation. Just "manage" your expectations on cushioning, and you'll have a "great", "versatile" shoe from the Jordan series that "never" goes out of style. Comparing it directly to my Jordan 1 Highs… the main difference is the collar height, obviously. The Air Jordan Mid 1 offers a bit more everyday flexibility. You can wear it with more pant styles without the high-top bunching up. However, the materials on this Mid version often feel a step down from most retro High releases. It’s a trade-off for the lower price point, which is around $125 USD. So, should "you" cop? If you want a stylish, everyday sneaker with legendary status, "absolutely" grab an Air Jordan Mid 1. But if your priority is cutting-edge comfort or a performance hoop shoe, you might wanna look elsewhere. For me, it's a staple. Thanks for watching—let me know your thoughts on the Mids down below
