That's my main critique. Otherwise, the build is clean. I love how it bridges the gap between a sporty and a fashion sneaker. It’s perfect for someone who wants a touch of athletic heritage in their streetwear. Not the best, not the worst – just a reliably good shoe. Comparing it to other Jordans, specifically the "Air Jordan 1 High": the most obvious difference is, of course, the height. The "Mid" cuts just above the ankle, which I find easier to style with different pants. Some purists swear by the High's profile, and that's fair! But for daily versatility? I'm leaning towards this "Jordan 1 Mid". It captures the essence without the sometimes-bulky top. Compared to the Air Jordan 1 High, the "Jordan 1 Mid" is obviously shorter at the ankle. For some, that's a plus for easier styling and less break-in. For pure aesthetic? I still love the High's profile, but this Mid is way more accessible and often at a better price, like this $125 pair. Let's be real about comfort: it's a 'retro' basketball shoe. The footbed is flat & firm - great for all-day wear if you're used to it. But if you need modern, bouncy cushioning? This "Jordan" model might feel stiff. It's about style over supreme comfort, period.
