For some people, that means easier to put on & maybe a little less restrictive. The overall build and feel underfoot, though, are very, "very" similar - it's that same Jordan 1 DNA. Popping these on, the immediate thought is how "stable" they feel. The Air Jordan 1 Mid has a wide, flat base that just plants you to the ground. For a quick wear test around the house, they felt secure. The design is timeless - it works on so many levels. A clear advantage is the sheer number of colorways available for Mids, letting you express your style. A possible drawback? Some purists will always favor the High-top. I say, if you like the look and want a solid beater sneaker, this is a worthy pick. Comparing it to my other Jordans – the Highs feel more "statement," but the "Jordan 1 Mid" is the easy-going option. It's lighter on the ankle, a bit less restrictive. For the $125 USD price, it's a great entry point into the "Jordan series" if the Highs are too much (or too expensive) for you right now. Final thoughts? For the price – around $120-$130 USD – I think the value is there. You're buying into a legacy. The "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" is a workhorse sneaker. It looks great, it's built decently, and it'll last you. It's not the most exciting review, but sometimes the most reliable shoes aren't.
