For ball, I'd go High. But for style? The Mid is way easier to throw on and go. It sits between the High and the Low, offering a unique profile that's super wearable. A great alternative in the Jordan series. Okay, checking out this new 'Light Smoke Grey' Air Jordan Mid 1. The color-blocking is subtle and really versatile. The suede feels nice in hand! On feet, they're light and the break-in period isn't too bad. Comparing it to a Jordan 1 High, you lose some ankle support but gain easier mobility. Big pro: easier to put on and off. Con? The outsole is flat—not the best for all-day walking on concrete. Great for collectors who want a wearable, stylish Mid. Final thoughts? I genuinely like this shoe. The Air Jordan Mid 1 delivers that legendary design in a manageable package. It's not trying to be the most comfortable — it's trying to look cool and pay homage, which it does brilliantly. For the price point, it's a solid pick-up. 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. 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.
