Purists will "always" argue for the High top. The materials, while good, aren't always "top-tier" like some Special Edition Jordans. If you need max ankle support for ball, look elsewhere. It’s a lifestyle sneaker first. That's the honest truth with this air jordan mid 1. Straight up, the biggest "pro" here is the accessibility. You can actually find and buy these. The "Air Jordan Mid 1" sits at a great price point, around "$125 USD". The design is nearly identical to the High from afar. The "con"? Some sneakerheads will always see it as the "little brother" to the High OG. But honestly? That's their loss. This shoe stands on its own. The mid-top height is practical and stylish. If you want the look without the hype or resell price, this is your answer. Is it comfortable? It's a supportive, firm ride. Don't expect Boost or ZoomX clouds underfoot — you're getting a classic basketball shoe feel from the '80s, updated just a bit. The insole does its job. For all-day wear? Your feet might feel it. But for shorter outings, errands, style points? Absolutely fine. Know what you're buying into. Sliding these Air Jordan Mid 1s on... the fit is "true-to-size" for me. The ankle collar on the Mid is a "touch" lower than the OG Highs, which I actually prefer for daily wear—it's less restrictive! The cushioning? Let's be real, it's classic Jordan 1: firm & responsive, not plush. If you want cloud-like comfort, this isn't it. But for that court-feel & style? Unbeatable.
