I’m trying to bring you guys different content so we can talk about things surrounding the sneaker community! I hope you guys enjoy these types of videos!
I'm starting to get into sneakers and stuff like that. Personally I like the mids alot more than the highs because they are cheaper, sometimes easier to find and don't break my ankles when I have to get on my tippy toes to get something.
Facts: Jordan requested a mid cut than the high when he played in the 1's early in his career. So while he played in the mids in the 80's Nike sold the high's to the public...So if ya really wanna be a true OG about what he wore then you should rocking the mids
Unfortunately the shoe arena is full of followers. All it takes is Travis Scott or a shoetuber will a lot of clout to say mids are hot and watch how many people change their tune.
For those who don't like mids you should know that they are designed for the mass so at a more accessible price and not for very sneaker heads but for those who simply like shoes
I'm a sneakerhead, but I really appreciate and being hyped for the mids and they deserve the hype especially when its colorways are like the OG Highs. Can't hate em! Great vid bro!
honestly, on foot you literally can’t tell the difference and if your looking for a cheap cop it’s definetly worth it. And keep in mind your probably gonna wear pants with them anyway
A true sneaker head doesn't care. I personally wear the mids because I'm a jordan fan and mids were his PE's so the fact that they were exclusively for him and weren't available to the general public makes the mid desirable to me also the 2001 aj1's were mids too. But for anyone buying mids you definitely should use this guy for a reference to buying as he only gets the mids that are worth getting the new loves, the bred toes, the banned etc. The mids are selling out these days and going for double triple and sometimes 10x the price(melody ehsani mids) but keep in mind mids are being bootlegged a lot the inside tag is usually a dead give away fakes have an older tag with no jordan logo.
bruh with replicas after the first batch is out most flaws will get fixed w them. a lot of reps these days aren’t gonna have anything blatantly obvious and instead legit checkers are gonna have to look for mistakes in the shape and stitching of the shoe
Bro, I love mids man. There’s some shoes I can’t pay 1100 for. But I can pay 115 for a mid in a real close color way. The Hyper Royals are dope too. I hope people keep hating so I can keep getting mids for retail. Good content bro.
the mids are interesting, the can be called sloppy, ugly, or poor quality, but they are hardly boring. I appreciate the quality and make of the high and the mids do a decent job following up to the high standards, although the mids sometimes color "outside the box" with their colorways it is nice to see variety in a sneakers design
i like mids ion even got no highs yet😂gotta choose the right colorways, ill admit mids do be wylin lmaoo. i just hate how resellers, after years of trashin em, is buyin em all up now
The new mids aren’t remotely similar to MJ’s PEs. The cut on new mids look way off in comparison. The OG PE looks very similar to the high; the current mids do not. The panels are way off; which reminds me of the butchery of the AJ3 and AJ11. People are just use to the current look of the mid AJ 1, which was basically what AJ1s looked like before the remaster. I always thought the quality of mids were somewhat plastic like and I ended up buying a white pair that creased like plastic and I later started hooping in them. Point being; the mids is basically regulated being the affordable Jordan that you trash after a few wears because it’s mostly vinyl and synthetic materials.
So there are 2 reasons #1 they hypebeast and just follow the crowd #2 they wanna be a reseller and call everything “bricks” If you like a shoe buy it screw the haters. Until Kanye wore them they sat
I like mids depending on the materials used to for the shoe, and I’m not talking about the quality of the materials either. What I mean is I would like for the shoe to be all leather, or a mix of leather and suede, or all suede. Basically the same way the materials used for an OG high would be used.
1. Affordable. 2. Fire Colorways. 3. They fit nicer for me. 4. Highs are overpriced and hyped. 5. More accesable to wear because of the value. I only collect the mids. But I did buy a low Berlin grey to wear. Those are firee
If I had to choose between a high or a mid, 9/10 I’m picking the high. But personally I prefer low cut shoes and mids give that satisfaction when it comes to having a lower cut. I rock with Air Jordan 1 lows too don’t get me wrong but I don’t get the hate 🤷🏻♀️
I still have some mids in my collection that I truly love, and wouldn't trade em out for anything. I was a 4 or 3 person, and mid 1's until my first high...which completely throttled me with the quality leathers. Granted, it's the shadow 1 (2018) and not all highs are that quality, but it still changed me into more.of a high guy. Still copp mids when they 🔥🔥, but ONLY when they 🔥.
Bro, I really fuck with mids. I copped 2 pair recently and my jeans stack perfectly on them. I don’t see nothing wrong with copping mids. Some people are hypebeast and only fucks with the hype. If they see Travis Scott rock some mids. It would be a whole wave of people rocking mids.
Jordan wore mids. I’m gen x we watched jordan play all the time. Jordan wore mids. The only reason why people don’t like mids is cause they’re hype beast and just wanna wear what’s popular and trendy. They know nothing they just want the recognition for having jordans. One day people will wake up and realize jordan himself wore mids as well as highs. As far as quality on mids, Nike says fuck it and doesn’t put all into it cause it’s not hyped.
Should be no hate for the mids because I was reading up on some old Jordan stories they said he wore the mids while nike sold the Hightops on the market so as sneakerheads we should show more love to the mids also Nike should put the same effort in the quality of the material on the mids and people would never complain.
I love mids. I drive stick shift cars, and the highs dog into the back of my legs when I work the pedals, but the mids are angled in the perfect way for me to be comfortable.
the same leather that is used on those carmines in the back is the same on the jordan mids so leather quality shouldn't be the problem. Because nobody had a problem with the 6's leather
Jordan 1 mids are exclusively a Jordan brand shoe which means Nike has nothing to do with them aside from the air unit and swoosh.The og color ways are owned by Nike and Jordan brand and can only be used in og models.And since the retro lows and mids aren’t og models,Jordan brand can’t use the og color ways ,only with slight differences like the red little panel on the bred mids or the white heel on the Chicago mids.
I like my mids because they are cheaper and they are more comfortably better to move around in. And I feel better about wearing and using these than my chicago lost and founds, which I saw they go for around $400 or more now. insane
I just started paying attention to the 1's because usually when I buy J's I stick with the 11 and 12's. But the 1's been catching my attention like crazy lately but I do see the difference in the mids and the highs and I like em both but why the hell do ppl make it seem like if u buy the mid u being cheap or something they look just as good to me.
@@DEVINTAGE Love my mids more then the lows an highs as you can tell lol. Just based on preference I think tho. Do need some highs tho just coz I ain’t got any and I’ve got a pair of the majority so like it or not it may have to be done 😂
I’ve got short stumpy legs, literally the only reason...Mids are perfect for me...I think highs would be rubbing the back of my legs 😂 I love some of the colour ways tho, plus mids are easier to cop at retail. I seriously want uni blues - even if as a look but don’t touch sneaker👌
i rock mids bc personally they more comfortable, and how trying to spend a life fortune on shoes? not me, so i’ll pay 100 bux on some mids that i would prefer more anyways
It's dumb. I just rocked my Chicago Black Toe mids yesterday, its one of my favorite sneakers to wear. I got mids,lows, highs, and retros so I never understood the hate if the color way is good. Them Jordan mid Black Carbons are some 🔥 🔥 mids so I hope people 💤 on them since they ain't being hyped. Easier pickup for me.
Bought my first pair of mids at the Nike outlet. I like skating in my Jordan 1 highs but don’t want to mess them up. I was looking for high top sb’s and set down some blazers for the Christmas mids@ $50. I used to always say “ Mids are for kids..” but I changed my mind after coppin these. They skate better than the highs and they look dope if you rock em right.
Mids literally look better 🤷♂️ The highs can be pulled off amazingly well, but for more casual looks the super tall silhouette of the highs look kinda goofy.
Mids ain't even bad anyone who says different are off their heads no difference any OG real sneaker head would appreciate any sort of shoeit be low mid high ultra high
I actually like it when no on cared about mids i can easily grab a pair now in my area there all sold out....lol. I also have O.G. highs but i tend to wear my mids more on a daily... Mids are dope nothing wrong wit'em...Im not into all that hype... I wear what i like and what looks good .. Dope vid 🔥
I had the Jordan 1 mid UNC when they came out in 2003 it had patent leather. I think if Jordan released a bunch of highs then the hype would simmer down. I think it’s a hype thing when mids get criticized.
man i love the mids G people need to start respecting the mids theres alot of good quality on the mids shit most of my mid vids get more views than my OG highs facts great vid much respect stay blessed 🙏🏼✊🏼
Mids are more versatile fr. I can rock mids with the right colorway with a suit and still look dapper. The highs not so much. The highs just don’t translate well with anything other than urban wear. This is my opinion of course.
Hypebeasts can dis on mids all they wanna. Us tru og sneakerhedz/mj fans, & fr basketball fans dont care bout xtra eyelet and NIKE AIR on tongue. Ive been buying Js since 1991 & haters will always be hatin'. Love the vid that actually touches on the differences between mids n hi.
The colorways don’t hit the same as they used to 15-20 years ago. This was the main Jordan 1 in the 2000s. The energy they had back then, they’re putting it in the High OG now. They had some sick colorways back then. Today, it’s just the poor man’s Jordan 1. The colorways are terrible today. Hard to find a decent colorway to rock. They dropped retro the Mid Banned & Royal. 2 of the most popular Jordan 1s colorways ever. People don’t even care about them. This would’ve cause havoc 10-15 years ago.
I'm actually wearing the Chicago Black Toes right now! I honestly don't get nor care about the hate the mids get. I want to wear/have multiple pairs of Js but i dont have tons of money to spend on them and I don't want to play the will I or won't I be able to score the pair I wanted game. I think both the mids and highs look great so fuck the haters I think I look good in both!
mostly people hate on mids cause they cheap (mostly resellers talk shit) and the rest of the people say it cause the resellers say it idk personally i love the mids u get ur hands on them easier and a lot of times they have dope ass colorways
I didn’t understand why the mids were looked down upon but I believe some color ways look really dope like the particle gray air Jordan 1s which will drop later on today lol Anywho quick question, where did you get your shoes customized if you don’t mind me asking?
Fam you know why mf hate on mids is because they sunk thousands of dollars in highs and feel like they need to convince you and they selves that’s the wave and mids are trash when in reality they the same exact shoe except a little lower. My view is all that hate come from hypebeasts who overpay or got an unhealthy addiction.
bro i live in the middle east and a pair of mids from nike or foot locker sells for 130(rarely) to 170(most often) and if I buy from stock x fees and shipping for a decent shoe is like $50-$60 so for me and most other people in the middle east mids are the best option.
I don't get the hate, I have a pair of jordan 1 mid triple black and I love them. Honestly mids look a little more pleasing to my eyes but that's just me🤷♂️
