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. Comparing it to the OG Highs? The Air Jordan Mid 1 obviously has a shorter collar. It's easier to get on and off. Some purists might miss the full high-top look, but for everyday versatility? I think the Mid is a winner. The price point is also generally better, often under $130 USD. Who might wanna skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers, for sure. If your priority is all-day walking comfort, modern materials, or advanced cushioning—this isn't it. Also, if you're a dedicated OG High-top collector, the "Mid" cut might feel like a compromise. It serves a different purpose: style and accessibility over pure heritage or tech. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan Mid 1s. First "impression"? The shape on this specific colorway is actually pretty solid straight out of the box. The materials feel "standard" for the price point—nothing "luxe", but the stitching is clean. That classic Jordan 1 silhouette is just "undeniable", you know? It's the Mid cut, so it sits "right" between the High and the Low. For around $135 USD, it's a "decent" starting point into the Jordan series if you're new.
