The Mid is its more accessible, slightly more casual cousin. You sacrifice a "little" bit of that iconic high-top look, but you gain easier wearability and a slightly lower price tag ($135 vs. ~$180). For daily kicks, this Air Jordan Mid 1 makes a ton of practical sense. Comparing this AJ1 Mid to my other Jordans? It fills a perfect niche. 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. Alright, let's get these open. First impression? This classic black, white, and red colorway on the Air Jordan 1 Mid is just "clean". The leather feels pretty standard for this tier—decent, not super premium, but the overall build & silhouette are instantly recognizable. You're getting that iconic Jordan look without the high-top price tag, which sits around $115 USD. It's a solid start for the collection. Here's a detailed look at this 'Dark Concord' Air Jordan Mid. That purple is deeper in person—really unique. Construction is standard Jordan Mid quality. My true size fit perfectly, no pinching. The footbed is firm, offering decent arch support for a flat shoe. Compared to a Dunk, it feels more structured. Pro: Incredibly easy to style with jeans or shorts. Con: The price has crept up to $135 on some colorways. I'd recommend these to a sneaker fan wanting a durable, iconic shoe.
