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 [q1gurkoa]

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. So, who are these for? Honestly, for anyone entering the sneaker game — or just wanting a durable, classic shoe. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is a perfect first Jordan. It's also great for collectors who want a specific colorway without the High-top premium. If you value timeless style over cutting-edge comfort, you'll love these. However, here's a potential con: the comfort. If you're used to plush sneakers like the Jordan 13 or even some newer retros, the Mid 1's firm midsole might feel a bit harsh for all-day wear. It's a shoe built more for style than supreme cushioning, which is totally fine, but you should know that going in. Potential con? That break-in period. The heel can be stiff at first - some people might find it rubs. Also, the cushioning is basic. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the feel of this Air Jordan Mid might surprise you. It's built more for style and heritage than all-day comfort, in my honest opinion.
