Most “sneakerheads” hate on mids and have no idea why. None. Once they begin to think for themselves they’ll realize lows, mids, and highs all have value. Your confidence and swag makes the sneaker dope, not the other way around.

[@munkky21]

Anthony Fleming III he pretty much pointed out why its the difference in quality its the nostalgia and love for the og 1 highs. Im not going to knock or hate on anyone who’s rocking em either to each their own.

[@sh43n]

Anthony Fleming III they don’t even know the orgin 🤭

I rock what i like not what hypebeast say is the hottest shoe. I have 1 pair of jordan 1s and they are lows.looking for yellow n black mids now in a 14 tho.

[@Jarretthicks12]

I like mids. Some of the colorways are dope tbh but the hybeast culture just downs em

[@noskpain2792]

Has nothing to do with hypebeasts. They just weren't sought after. Even though Jordan wore them people didn't like them

[@latinballa88]

Funny thing about Mids is the fact that Jordan essentially wore them to play in. The cut of his Chicago 1’s was closer to the mids compared to the shoes that were available to the masses.

[@lilmonke2190]

But it’s not the same mids being sold today,if you actually look at the 1s he played in, it looks far close to the highs than the mids being sold today

[@Aqwtiny]

I was just looking at Jordan 1 mids and lows , and you made a good point about how as a culture we’d like the highs over the mids even tho there’s only like 2-3 subtle differences between them. And I think it’s just cause as sneaker collectors we pay attention to detail.. I feel like a lot of mids/lows would be so much better if they just had Nike branding on the tongue

[@Xerna77]

[@Rime0ne]

Yo, this is one of my biggest pet peeves. It drives me crazy how this shoe could sit but if it were a high in the exact same colorway it would sell out instantly and go for ridic prices resell. Heck, even if the materials were as bad they'd still do numbers.

[@LeBeautiful]

I know a lot of true sneaker heads going to paint that toe box white 😂

I bought them and I don't have Chicago 1 hi. I will rock them as is. I even bought the green and purple mids. That is another dope colorway. I've been collecting for about 20 years. I've had just about everything. If I like it, who cares what someone else thinks. It's my dam money. 💯😎✌

[@BrianHernandez-qm9en]

You’re on point Mike when you mentioned that mid’s can be a starter Jordan 1. That’s how I started, I ended up buying some mid bred 1’s, after a year of breaking them down I bought the retro Jordan 1 yin yang’s and my love for retros began.

For me at least, I’m not a very large person. I’m 5’10” and slim muscle so I feel like highs just look too bulky on me. Mids sit better on me as a result so I prefer them

the black on the toes is what makes it easier to match darker pants. I'd get these over the white.

[@starrsignn]

I enjoy mids just because I skate Jordan's. I don't feel it's worth it to spend alot on highs simply because I'm gonna shred them and the mid silhouette is really nice because its right in the middle.

[@Cherry_Meatloaf]

I have mids and I like em, I find them more comfortable than the highs

[@marcusstemper9629]

Lows are super slept on imo, highs are the standard, and the colorway really depends on the mids for me personally

[@sneakerteacher89]

Wear what you like; Jordan himself played in mids. So what's the issue? 2:44 very incorrect because there was in '03 and they flew.

[@givegamingco2865]

Thanks for the video dude. I bought my first pair of Jordan's yesterday, and, it was a similar color to the ones in the video (white/black/gym red). Pretty much impossible to get pairs off the Nike sneaker app. I had no idea what to wear them with until I watched your video, so I also appreciate that. Been in dad mode for the last 7 years and now it's time to get some style back. Now I just need to get a shirt or hoodie to match.

[@connectedautola4191]

Honestly if you can save the extra 70 bucks just get the highs if you can snag off retail. I personally didn’t like the mids because it wasn’t An “original” cut. But I actually got my first pair of mids like a month ago for way under retail and I thought it was a good price. Ended up flipping em because the quality just isn’t up to par with highs. You can actually probably get a slightly worn pair of highs for below retail. Leather isn’t as good, the tongue is weirdly high and not cushioned at all, and the padding in general doesn’t feel as nice. They’re very stiff so if you think you can get a leather pair of mids to compensate for a leather high, don’t think it’s very possible for below retail of highs. Of course there’s the special release mids but those are hard to get
