You're buying a piece of sneaker history with a practical, mid-cut twist. Don't expect cloud-like comfort, but do expect tons of compliments and a versatile shoe for your rotation. The Jordan series classic lives on in the Mid! 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. Alright, what's up everyone? Just unboxed this pair of "air jordan mid 1"s in the "Banned" colorway, and wow—the leather quality honestly surprised me? It's not top-tier but for a $135 USD shoe, it's pretty solid. The iconic silhouette is instantly recognizable, of course. My first thought? They look great out of the box, ready to rock straight away. Comparing it directly to the Air Jordan 1 High? The most obvious difference is the collar height—it cuts off right above the ankle. Materials can sometimes be simpler on the Mid version, but for a daily beater, that's fine. The biggest pro is the price point. You're entering the Jordan 1 world at a more accessible level, which is a huge plus for many.
