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 [m501fddm]

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. 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". After a full day in these, my verdict is positive. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is a workhorse. The materials held up, they're comfortable enough, and I got tons of compliments. They don't try to be something they're not. They're a solid, classic sneaker that just works. Who might want to skip it? Serious performance basketball players should look elsewhere—tech is outdated. Also, if supreme all-day comfort is your #1 priority, this isn't it. And if you're a Jordan 1 High OG purist who only wants the original silhouette, the Mid's proportions might not satisfy you. It serves a specific, style-driven purpose.
