It shares the same foundational DNA, the same sole, the same vibe. If you love the AJ1 style but find the Highs a bit too tall or too expensive, the "Mid" is a perfect gateway into the "Jordan" world. It’s a straightforward, no-fuss alternative. The Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Black White'—aka the 'Panda'—is "everywhere". Opening the box, it's just a clean, monochromatic shoe. On feet, the fit is true, offering that reliable Jordan 1 structure. They look sharp on camera and in person, a true wardrobe staple. Versus other Jordans, the Mid cuts a simpler profile. The major advantage is its insane versatility. The potential downside? It's so popular it lacks uniqueness. If you want a go-anywhere sneaker for under $130 USD, get it. If you hate common kicks, skip. Alright, so I just unboxed these Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' 2020 colorway, and first off, the color-blocking is super clean. The black and red combo is just a classic, you know? For $120, the leather feels pretty decent - not the absolute best, but definitely solid for a Mid. Holding it next to my other Jordans, you can see that iconic silhouette is all there. It's a great option if you want that Jordan 1 look without the High-top price tag. Just keep in mind, the toe box might crease easily. In summary: you're buying the look. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is a legend. Manage your comfort expectations, appreciate the style - and if you find a colorway you love, it's definitely a worthy pickup for any sneaker rotation.
