Nike air jordan 1 mid : The potential downside? Some purists will "always" favor the High [xcb84ic5]

And that's fine! The air jordan 1 mid doesn't have the exact same cultural weight for some collectors. Also, that stiff sole won't win comfort awards. But as a durable, stylish shoe that looks great worn-in? It excels. It's a workhorse sneaker for your rotation. I compared these directly to my Jordan 1 Highs. The height difference is noticeable on foot, giving a slightly different profile. The Mid feels a bit more "casual", less formal than the High. Materials are similar tier. It really comes down to your personal style preference & ankle coverage desire. For the price difference, the Mid offers incredible value in the Jordan series lineup. Now, the "potential" downsides. The cushioning is "basic" - just a single Air unit. If you need impact protection for sports or long walks? "Look" elsewhere. Some fans "only" swear by the High-top version & see the "Mid" as a compromise. Also, the leather quality "can" vary by colorway. It's a "great" shoe, but not for "every" single need. Who might want to skip it? If you're purely in it for top-tier, buttery materials – you might be disappointed. If you need plush, modern basketball shoe comfort – look elsewhere. Also, if the "Mid" height just doesn't do it for you aesthetically compared to the Highs, then follow your taste. Don't buy a shoe you don't love the look of.
