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 [xgix542f]

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. Hey what's up everyone, just unboxed these Air Jordan Mid 1s in the 'Chicago' colorway. First impression? That classic silhouette is "fire" — the red, white, and black combo is just "timeless". For around $130 USD, the build quality feels solid right out of the box. It's an iconic Jordan series look that never gets old, honestly. On foot, this colorway really pops! The design is so iconic. Compared to the Air Jordan 1 High, the Mid has that slightly shorter collar, which I think makes it a bit more versatile for everyday style. It's a timeless look that works with jeans or shorts. Honestly, the camera loves this shoe's clean lines. After a full day in these, my verdict is positive. The Air Jordan Mid 1 is a workhorse. The materials held up, they're comfortable enough, and I got tons of compliments. They don't try to be something they're not. They're a solid, classic sneaker that just works.
