The materials might be a step down, and purists will always argue for the Highs. But for the price difference? That's a personal call. For me, these Mids fill a different niche — they're my "grab and go" pair from the Jordan series. Alright, first up with this "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" in the "Elephant Print" colorway, which is priced at a cool $120 USD. Straight out of the box, I'm "really" impressed with the leather quality on this one—it's surprisingly soft! Honestly, it feels (and looks) way better than some recent Jordan 1 releases. The iconic silhouette is just a classic. However, just know the "Air unit" in these isn't super plush... it's more about style than "all-day" comfort. If you're new to the Jordan series, this Mid is a fantastic, more affordable starting point. First-look at this "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid"! This "Dark Chocolate" pair feels "substantial" in hand. The materials have a nice texture. On foot, the toe box has a bit more room than the High version (which I actually prefer!). It's a sturdy shoe. However, that also means it's not the lightest option out there—just being real with you. For $120 USD in today's market? That's a fair price for a well-built sneaker. I'd say it's perfect for someone who loves the Jordan 1 look but wants a slightly different (and often more available) silhouette. Conversely, who should maybe skip it? Serious performance basketball players, obviously. Also, if ultimate comfort is your #1 priority - you might want to look at models with newer tech. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is about heritage & aesthetics first.
