Air jordan mid 1 : Comparing it directly to my Jordan 1 Highs… the main difference is the collar height, obviously [yf3cb2ge]

The Air Jordan Mid 1 offers a bit more everyday flexibility. You can wear it with more pant styles without the high-top bunching up. However, the materials on this Mid version often feel a step down from most retro High releases. It’s a trade-off for the lower price point, which is around $125 USD. Now, the real talk - potential cons. The cushioning is basic. If you're on your feet all day, this isn't your shoe. The leather quality can vary by colorway; some might feel a bit stiff. Also, as a "mid 1", it doesn't have the exact same cultural cachet as an OG High for some purists. It’s a classic, but know what you're getting: a heritage design, not modern tech. The major "pro" here is versatility and legacy. You're wearing a piece of sneaker history (well, a version of it). The construction is generally durable for everyday use. However, the "con" for some will be the lack of premium materials or that exact OG specification. If you're a purist, you might only want the Highs. Now, the not-so-great part. The break-in period can be "real"—the heel and pinky toe area might rub for the first few wears. Also, that classic Jordan 1 outsole traction? It can get "slippery" on wet surfaces, so maybe not your go-to rain shoe. Just keeping it 100% with you guys.
