Air Jordan 1 Mid
Nike has dominated the global sneaker game for decades with its Jordans. Since the first silhouette was designed in 1985 during basketball player Michael Jordan's prime—who, as we know, is the sports icon behind the legendary sneaker series—Nike has never looked back. Below, you can explore our full selection of Jordan 1 Mids.
What is the difference between an Air Jordan 1 Mid and High?
Nike's first Jordan sneaker was an Air Jordan 1 High model, but many people find it difficult to distinguish between it and the Air Jordan 1 Mid. If you own an old pair of these, you're lucky, as the original Air Jordan 1 High models are generally more valuable than the Air Jordan 1 Mid.
As mentioned, Nike has always dominated the global sneaker game, and they quickly realized that making the silhouette more exclusive would be a financial success. At the same time, they wanted to meet the growing demand for the iconic sneakers, which led to the creation of the Air Jordan 1 Mid. This way, they could satisfy everyone.
The difference is in the details
Although the two models look very similar, there are some key differences in the details. First and foremost, the Air Jordan 1 Mid is slightly shorter—not by much, but the height difference is noticeable. One way to check this is by counting the eyelets. The Air Jordan 1 Mid has eight eyelets, while the High model has nine on each side.
