Who should skip it? Performance basketball players or those needing advanced, plush cushioning. For the price? You're paying for the history and the timeless design. And sometimes, that's more than enough. Thanks for watching my real, unsponsored thoughts Who should "maybe" skip it? Hardcore performance "basketball" players - this is NOT a modern hoop shoe. Also, if you "exclusively" collect OG High-top silhouettes & see the "Mid" as "not the real thing"? You won't be satisfied. And if "ultra-soft", cloud-like comfort is your #1 priority? You might find the feel a bit "dated". On-camera, this shoe always looks sharp. The "Mid"'s proportions are just... right. My 'Wolf Grey' pair looks great in videos & photos. For content creators wanting a reliable, stylish sneaker that won't break the bank ($125-ish), it's a smart pick from the "Jordan" lineup. Comparing it directly to my Jordan 1 Highs – the most obvious difference is the height, obviously. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" lacks that top eyelet and the extra ankle padding. For some, that's a downside for lockdown; for others, it's a style preference. I find the Mids often have more accessible colorways and a slightly lower price point (like this $125 one), which is a huge plus for building a collection without breaking the bank.
