Hey Guys! If you don't have the Jordan 1 tech specs memorized by the end of this video... well... maybe you should watch it a few more times. Thanks for watching!
Only mids I have are BRED mids and painted the eyelets black. Definitely look good but the leather is legit stiff as heck. Take a lot of break in time. I need more.
I much prefer the way the mid fits than the highs. Highs are too high. I just wish Nike would put some better quality materials into their shoes. Like Chris said, you can get WAY better quality in that same price point from other brands. Look at a New Balance 992, $175 and premium quality and premium craftsmanship. Nike has fallen off and it sucks.
The Air Jordan mid black is a special edition for the day of the dead in Mexico. They called it Siempre Familia. All the details it has allude to different traditions of ancient Mexico. It's just fantastic.
The National Institute of Anthropology and History intervened in the design... Loved the swoosh Modified. The teeth pay tribute to the jaguar which was sacred in ancient times. It's just a fantastic pair.
I just got into Jordan’s about a few months ago. Have 2 pairs now of mids. Tan gum and brushstroke. They’re dope but I really don’t understand the “hate”. I prefer mids over the highs imo
Ngl, my first pair of Jordan 1s was actually a pair of bred mid 2018. I didn't know there were low, mid, and high at that time. But I was happy to get my first pair of J's. Still it holds a special place in my heart when it comes to the mid silhouette.
Great video again! I have a pair of Jordan 1 mids and a pair of Jordan 1 mids SE, believe me, you can definitely feel and see the difference in materials. Nike does the same thing with dunks. You have the Dunk, Dunk SE, and the SB Dunks, and you feel and see the difference in materials on those too. Appreciate everything that you guys do!
Real talk some in my top 10 of the collection are mids. I rock my Blue the Greats and Milans a lot. I get more compliments on them seems like than other classics.
I dont call myself a collector. I buy what i like and if the price is right. Seen couple of mids go for sale. So i grab them. I like them for the price i got them for and i dont care about what hypebeasts might say
The only Jordan 1 that I have is a mid, the Johnny Kilroy ones. I used to be a dummy and cried about them for being durabuck and not leather but during rainy days or cold days I love them. Also I got them for 80 bucks. If anyone wants to start using Jordan 1s, don't mind the materials honestly, is more about the fact that they are Jordans.
I don't mind mids, like 3 centimeter difference than Highs, but I've been waiting for those pine green mids! They look really nice 🙌 Sad I did miss out on the SSE haha thought it was a cool design 👌
If memory serves me correctly the Premier Jordan 1s that came in the black laser(most comfortable ones ever) and the red and green ones were the first retros to get the high top treatment. the strapped banned ones came after
I had never bought a pair of mids until they released the hyper royal, I actually like they fit better than traditional highs. I got my second pair of mids with those sweet Siempre Familia SE, they're probably my favorite pair of Jordans along with the Tokyo Biohack and Zoom Cmft.
I don’t hate Mids it’s the fact that they hide how bad the materials are by rolling all the edges that would normally be exposed to raw leather edges on Jordan 1 High OG’s.
I love how mids feel at the opening since they are lower than the highs cause the highs dig into the back of my leg. HOWEVER, the lower quality materials make the break in process super painful for me (sometimes they stay painful even after breaking them in). So for that reason I still prefer the highs cause there basically is no break in period. I'll have to check out the mid SE's, the problem is that I hate the colorways that they come out in. Hot take here tho, the BEST out of all of them are the low OG's!! Good materials and good fit.
Mids r dope plus in high school that is all we had was mids the height difference is so unnoticeable is corny that people don't like em. Plus mids come in some dope colorways too
No joke. The materials on the regular AJ1 Mid are super crappy fake leather. Even at $60 I think I overpaid for them. Spend $10 more and get the AJ1SE which has premium materials.
I have the Bred Mids - snagged for box price. It's the same low quality leather as described in the toe box and side panel but it's tumbled. The overlays feel like a better quality (maybe genuine leather)? They've worn fairly well because the leather is softened. The thing about Jordan 1 Retros is that most are made with genuine leather - it's not top grain or full grain. In other words, 1s are made with okay quality leather at best. The Air Force 1, which retails for comparable pricing as Jordan Mids, is made with full grain leather- it's better quality. Nike is absolutely pimping the game by producing cheaper quality products and charging a premium for what the products symbolize.
I have the first two pairs. In fact wearing the Linen/ College Grey now. My 2 cents on the mid material is this: Nike feels that bettermaterial closer to the Highs on the Mids would cannibalize the High sales. The Mids with more colorways, availability, material almost as good as highs at a slightly lower cost would pull some from the Flagship. Protecting the Brand. I enjoy your site and content. The vibe is different and the cutaways are always good.
I need a Jordan mid, but the Chicago’s in the the right leather and 9 holes. I also think that they should have them as a general release like the plain Air Force 1. Why wouldn’t they make the actual shoe that he wore?
Feel like a lotta ppl hate on mids cuz no resell value 🤷🏻♂️ ppl nowadays feel value drives fashion and status 🤦🏻♂️ jus rock tha shoe..if u like em then do u n Deff feel like JB can up tha quality on mids tbh it wouldn’t kill tha company and make us mid rockers waaaay more Happie..great vid u guys 👌🏼🔥🔥🔥 keep doin tha daaam thang n Happie holidays 🙏🏼🎄
man those linen college grey mids, first time i saw them sitting on a store here in asia, i was like why is this colorway sitting, omfg they look so gorgeous amazing colorway!!! best colorway of a j1 mid so far!!. cant wait to wear them and break them out
A lot of the mids don't even use constructed leather, they use plastic. Rose Anvil cut one in half on his UA-cam channel. The biggest issue is the materials. What makes a J1 comfortable is how the leather molds to your foot over time. Doesn't happen with plastic and constructed leather. New balance gives you real leather at a cheaper price. Why can't Jordan do the same?
Thick PU coated “particle board” leather is what’s used. Not plastic. They’d be sued for false advertising if they used plastic instead of what the U.S. deems “genuine leather”. What isn’t leather on the shoe is typically vinyl - like the swoosh.
@@WearTesters does it say anywhere that the shoe is 100% leather. Some of the panels are plastic, others are constructed leather. A far cry from the highs, which are typically almost all leather.
@@WearTesters Sorry, I re-read my first statement. I wasn't trying to say that they were all plastic, but the mids definitely often have panels that look like leather but are actually plastic. Any any leather they use is of very low quality.
Dang I wish I had your Jordan knowledge. I know nothing about Jordans but I did learn today that Jordan 1 mid has cheap as leather for the price lol but sometimes they have the best color way😁. Are you saying that Jordan 1 mid SE are a better investment?
I got 7 pair of mid the se version. Something different. I like them different colorways. The hi have the same boring color's every time. Find yo comfort zone. If you love sneakers it doesn't matter.
I think hypebeasts hate on mids because…other hypebeasts hate on mids. If you really think about it regardless of what other people think…Mids are very versatile and gets the job done especially when you’re lifting or doing strength training at the gym.
I have the Air Jordan 1 Mid Facetasm collaboration. Its was one of the Fearless pack in 2019. It's absolutely nice, fire colorway and the materials are dope.
I got the black ones for $150 on the nike app. When they showed up the suggested retail price was $130. I got a hold of Nike and they knocked the price down to $126. That's a lot of shoe for $126!
I still wear my Phat low Suns model 1(blk-purple stitching and outsole-orange trim)The leather has cracked up,but I just got out the black marker because I love em.
i like mids i been buying jordans so long i remember this is all we got so when you hear someone shitting on mids just know they're hypebeast they wasnt around in 2005. the only jordan 1 highs we got was in 2000 other than that it was mids all day including the DMP pack.
People hate on mids for no reason. Highs and mids should coexist as two similar but slightly different options. They have the same aesthetic but with a slightly different execution
How common is it to get defective shoes from Nike? I just received my first pair of Air Jordans 1 ever and I can tell there's something wrong. They're beautiful, but too much details and terminations that just don't seem right..
Great review, yup the aj1 mid is kinda plastic cardboard yet Nike has been dropping some clean colourways such as the one you displayed. The mid se sometimes ok but not always worth it however the mid Milan that was done very well. And the high end mist 🤩 that siempre la familia is 🔥. I think it may surpass the fearless Maison château rouge . Better without the teeth tho. Please do a comparison of dunks too , presently the quality of GR dunks are worse than GR mids . It would be great to see GR dunks Vs SE Dunks Vs SB Dunks
The first shoe that I bought with my own money is a pair of black and white Air Jordan 1 Mid with white tongue. It was a 2017 pair with jumpman embroidered on the back. Got them for 100 euros. Awful quality, but they hold a special place in my head

Doing the camo/patchwork 3s ?
Is there any cushion set up? 😆
Nice to see somebody appreciate Rorschach. Great vid!
I absolutely love mids and how they fit. It's just an added bonus that the masses don't love them as much and gives me a chance to snag a pair 😆
I agree I luv them all lows, mids, & Highs. If I like'em I like'em.
Only mids I have are BRED mids and painted the eyelets black. Definitely look good but the leather is legit stiff as heck. Take a lot of break in time. I need more.

@@f4ttie Yea I agree, but no reason for Nike to increase quality when there products sell out regardless..
Exactly. I feel the same
WearTesters is the ONLY channel that would do this. An absolute authority and we are all here for it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love it and been waiting on this video! Thanks for the shout out love! Cheers, “Pastor Mike”
Consumers:. We want highs
Nike: you get a mid. You get a mid. Everyone get a mid.
Been waiting for a Good review on the Grey and Green”Pine”! 🔥🔥. Always giving the people what they want!!
The Luka Doncic Special Edition “Mindfulness” was one of the best Mids in a while.. The color blocking made it look like a High..
Great video again! I have a pair of Jordan 1 mids and a pair of Jordan 1 mids SE, believe me, you can definitely feel and see the difference in materials. Nike does the same thing with dunks.

Mid phat materials were slightly better then the new mids
Mids are greatly underappreciated for sure!!!
8:06 "I triggered YOU" laughed my crack off
I really didn’t know what the mid vs mid se did different but now that you pointed it out I know now
Real talk some in my top 10 of the collection are mids. I rock my Blue the Greats and Milans a lot. I get more compliments on them seems like than other classics.
Milans are fire
imo the Milans and the Facetasms are the best mid 1s ever
@@himawarii_gg I first saw Facetasms in person from a distance, had to run over and ask what they were
So icy
the other mid out of the fearless pack was amazing too the maison chateau rouge
I was so salty I missed the Milan’s and the Paris Lows
I dont call myself a collector. I buy what i like and if the price is right. Seen couple of mids go for sale. So i grab them. I like them for the price i got them for and i dont care about what hypebeasts might say
The Day of the Dead SE is beautiful. No mention of the box and the extra laces, though...
Good to hear there is a fellow Pastor in a sneaker community like this. 😊
The only Jordan 1 that I have is a mid, the Johnny Kilroy ones. I used to be a dummy and cried about them for being durabuck and not leather but during rainy days or cold days I love them. Also I got them for 80 bucks. If anyone wants to start using Jordan 1s, don't mind the materials honestly, is more about the fact that they are Jordans.
I have a few mids and I like the style waaaay more than lows. OG Highs are the best but I will check mids out.
I don't mind mids, like 3 centimeter difference than Highs, but I've been waiting for those pine green mids! They look really nice 🙌 Sad I did miss out on the SSE haha thought it was a cool design 👌
The Siempre Familia version material was super dope. The leather quality is super nice and soft not like other Jordan 1 Mid👍
Grey pair looks absolutely gorgeous😍 they should make a high with quality materials like this
I had no idea there was regular and SE. always dripping the knowledge on us. Thanks!
Thanks Chris you guys are awesome 😎
If memory serves me correctly the Premier Jordan 1s that came in the black laser(most comfortable ones ever) and the red and green ones were the first retros to get the high top treatment. the strapped banned ones came after
I had never bought a pair of mids until they released the hyper royal, I actually like they fit better than traditional highs. I got my second pair of mids with those sweet Siempre Familia SE, they're probably my favorite pair of Jordans along with the Tokyo Biohack and Zoom Cmft.
Anderson silva 🐐
I don’t hate Mids it’s the fact that they hide how bad the materials are by rolling all the edges that would normally be exposed to raw leather edges on Jordan 1 High OG’s.
love these guys, so funny together. Get Mama Testers in-front of the camera more. It's always a funny combo

Mids are cool! Especially for me who likes to daily shoes. I rough them up then clean them.
That green SE is cleaaann! I may have to snag those!
Great idea for a video. I can't wear these anymore because the comfort is meh, but love to watch . Cheers!

Jordan Brand has been pumping out Mids just like these long before the OG High was on shelves.
Recently got into the shoe game and I’ve been loving your videos !
Great presentation and a very calming voice.
Love mids! Love that they sit so I can buy them 😂
Thank for the videos it about time a UA-camr explaining that mids aint all bad. Reg or S.e
As soon as I saw the "super Special Edition" pair, the only thing I could think of is "hmm, how could I get rid of the teeth"
Here in London uk , mids and 4s are the most popular Jordan’s hear
Wow
I need a Jordan mid, but the Chicago’s in the the right leather and 9 holes. I also think that they should have them as a general release like the plain Air Force 1.
Why wouldn’t they make the actual shoe that he wore?
Would love to see a comparison of the mids SE and the OG Highs.
We did one here ua-cam.com/video/HtZepa3YUq0/v-deo.html
Love it great overview. Thx bro
the day of the dead ones look awesome, they we're lunch in mexico as a special edition for november 2th and they run out in hours.
They haven’t sold well here in the States. Despite being a great quality shoe.
I loved the banned mid. I got two pairs.

NOT IN MIDS OR JORDAN 1 AT ALL BUT THESE JORDAN 1 MID COLLEGE GREY IS SO FIRE IT CAN GO WITH SO MANY FITS!
Been doing mids since the silver Japan mids. Love em!
The Mrs. is ALWAYS on point!!! 😂
Late comment, but I just picked up the mid se ‘Dune Red’ and I was surprised to find a Jordan 1 high style tongue on it and nice leather as well 👍🏽

Those Grey 1 Mids soldout 🤣 resellers storm
I got a few mids. Them 'linens' are kinda hard but I got the other grey ones already. She's right tho, they do have a bugs bunny color thing to em.
I got 7 pair of mid the se version. Something different. I like them different colorways. The hi have the same boring color's every time. Find yo comfort zone. If you love sneakers it doesn't matter.

Are the Mid SE good as a daily basketball shoes. Can they be slightly roughed?
mids don't sit on shelves anymore now with resellers and scalpers
I coped the Linen one and sold it in the minute. It don't worth the money I spent. The colorway is cool but the leather is disgusting. A shame.
Lol
Instant tap the moment I saw siempre la familia on the BG in the thumbnail 😂
I have the Air Jordan 1 Mid Facetasm collaboration. Its was one of the Fearless pack in 2019. It's absolutely nice, fire colorway and the materials are dope.
I was happy when they stop putting that jumpman on the back never understood the point of it
You can still get the green mids at Nike. They didn't sell out instantly like the Mocha lows did.
I got the black ones for $150 on the nike app. When they showed up the suggested retail price was $130. I got a hold of Nike and they knocked the price down to $126. That's a lot of shoe for $126!
I still wear my Phat low Suns model 1(blk-purple stitching and outsole-orange trim)The leather has cracked up,but I just got out the black marker because I love em.
Just got me a pair of paris mids, better than regular mids but what got me was the color way.
The Día de Los Muertos are better than I expected.
Just got the Linen’s on the Nike app yesterday. Can’t wait to rock them!
mid’s fit is better than highs though less of a material but its really more comfy on feet
I love lows, mids, and og highs...

I like Jordan 1 MID. Because of how not overhyped it is. That make it did not get High Resell price as well compare to HIGH version.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING 🔥🏆💯
The black Jordan’s it’s a day of dead 2021 …from Mexico culture .!!!nice one
"These are cool , but , these are beautiful" ... :)
GREATEST TRACTION OF ALL TIME!!!
Just got my pair today 😎 🔥
Could you review the AJ1 mid Barcelona sweater?
Why can we buy an Air Force 1 Craft for $120 with soft leather, but on the mids, we always get some shitty cardboard leather?
Linen's are beautiful. Jost copped can't wait for them to come in
He said, “I’m Rorschach!” 🤣🤣 I swear they should just call the SSE…LE for limited edition. 🤷🏽♂️
I got the 1st pair , missed out on the green. I really want the brown pair friday.
what is the name of the first mids
Great review, yup the aj1 mid is kinda plastic cardboard yet Nike has been dropping some clean colourways such as the one you displayed. The mid se sometimes ok but not always worth it however the mid Milan that was done very well. And the high end mist 🤩 that siempre la familia is 🔥. I think it may surpass the fearless Maison château rouge . Better without the teeth tho. Please do a comparison of dunks too , presently the quality of GR dunks are worse than GR mids . It would be great to see GR dunks Vs SE Dunks Vs SB Dunks
The green and white are 💚💚💚💚
The first shoe that I bought with my own money is a pair of black and white Air Jordan 1 Mid with white tongue. It was a 2017 pair with jumpman embroidered on the back. Got them for 100 euros. Awful quality, but they hold a special place in my head
Do different mids have different inner material? My first pair has the mesh inner...my next pair is like thinner non mesh material...
Best Mid SE is the Light Bone -- but the price reflects.
