It's a 1985 design, so the cushioning is basic. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the firm feel might be a shock. Also, the ankle collar on this Mid cut — while comfortable — offers less lockdown than a High for actual basketball. Know what you're buying: a lifestyle icon, "not" a performance beast. Final verdict? For me, the air jordan mid 1 is a definite recommend for casual wear. It’s a workhorse in any rotation. You get that legendary Jordan design at a friendlier price & fit. Are they the "most" exciting release? No. But they're consistently reliable, and sometimes that's exactly what you need. Comparing it directly to the Air Jordan 1 High? The main difference is, of course, the collar height. The "air jordan mid 1" gives you slightly more ankle freedom, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. However, some purists might miss the complete, iconic High top look. For $125, it's a more accessible entry point into the Jordan 1 lineage, which is a big plus. Comfort check: After a full day in the Air Jordan Mid 1, my "verdict" is... it's fine. "Seriously", just "fine". The "lack" of modern cushioning is "apparent". However, the "support" and "lockdown" are good once broken in. It's a "trade-off": you get that legendary look for a "reasonable" $135, but you sacrifice "plush" feel. Perfect for "light" wear, not for all-day "standing".
