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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

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.

[@georgygasparyan5522]

man I like the proportions of the mids, i feel like they’re a good fit for average height people. when I get famous I’ll make a collaboration to boost the quality of the shoes, i guess there’s no other way

[@solooodrey]

Facts I could never where shorts with Jordan 1s period

[@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

[@nhan4564]

I have a pair of highs and my bro has a pair of the mids. the quality of the mids feel like plastic leather. The highs have such good leather and it cannot be topped

[@Tumbangpreso]

I prefer to wear mids. I dont know. High is just not for me. Well I'm not really into that hype though. On the other hand I aint no sheep. I prefer to follow my style than pretend to like something I dont just for the hype of it.

[@outloat9184]

Man I used to think that mids were lame until I saw these. Wanted a Chicago since 2017 but couldn’t afford them, but these just satisfied my craving

[@levinelson4479]

4:15 I know all the sneaker heads just felt that

[@LeoOfficial0]

Imo Mids look better than highs and lows, some lows do look very good (and some high ofc) but I prefer mid, because highs look like shoes for winter

[@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.

Sure, there's some models that look great casually, namely 1s, 3s, 4s, 5,s 6s, 11s, 12s, 13s, so on, but if you want a pair of 1s to also actually hoop and run in, mids/lows are the way to go because highs just way too expensive.

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.
