"Does anybody in the sneaker community actually like sneakers anymore ?"
Damn.. thats real bro, sneakers should not be this hard to get
For real, I am looking for a pair of AJ1 Highs to replace my one and only worn out pair and have been striking out for months. I'm sure I'll take a nice L on the Mochas too.
facts bro. its all hype beast
ever since travis scott hype it's been impossible to get a pair of sb's and air jordan 1s it's crazy man
Man I agree its ashame I just want a pair its sad we have to go through hell to get a pair
@CodeineCrazy nah, doesn't mean they're fakes....if they're mids, than more than likely legit. PLUS, i've seen some REALLY good UA's lately, and have basically changed my mind on the whole thing....even if they're fakes, if they look legit, then I don't care. I'm wearing them, not reselling, and if I can save $ getting good quality fakes, then that's what I'm gonna do. Just my 2 cents on the whole thing.
Fun Fact: MJ was hooping in Mid's back in 85.
💯
It's weird because MJ's mids had 9 lace holes instead of the usual 8.
Exactly! Most of these young buck “sneaker heads” don’t know all that 😌👌🏼
Wait what im so confused
😭😂😭 don’t tell these new sneaker heads that.
I remember in 2015 all the original colorways of the Jordan 1’s droppers in the low 1 OG. And they were sitting on shelfs. And now people are paying $300 + for those 2015. Its all hype in this culture
Hey Guys! Make sure you listen all the way thru, hear the arguments, then weigh in on the conversation. HOW GOOD ARE THEY??? Thanks for watching!
To me, any cut of the Jordan 1s are good. My all time favorite shoe but unfortunately I don’t own one. Not even once have I tried buying myself a pair because my conscience always gets in the way. Well, that’s just how life is. Got priorities. Not complaining though as I always buy sneakers for my little boys especially my young one who is special needs. Just the joy I see on his face when he sees me bring home a pair of sneakers for him and put it on his feet myself is pure happiness. Even though he can’t walk, I always make sure he looks fresh and let him feel that he is no different from others. He really loves his Jordan 1s though. He wouldn’t stop wearing them. 😊
I been loving my university red lows, can wear with anything, has that OG colour look and best of all...easy to put on lol
Just got these as my first Jordan 1's and they are great, colorway and quality, is crazy hard to get nice releases now a days, love your videos, keep it up, cheers from Mexico...B)
I have this pair of jordan 1 mids. I love the look but the mid is so much more accessible than the highs and looks good just the same. Keep reviewing them!
I’ve warmed up to them. I just sometimes have an issue with color blocking on some
“Does anybody in the sneaker community actually like sneakers anymore or just the money?” Truer words were never spoken 😆 but yeah Ja Morant was rockin mids on FSR i just cant, haven’t and wont lol
fax
Mids are so slept on, its great because I can grab pairs relatively easily. This year so far I got the team USA mids (which also have the nylon), the camo/bone mids, and the incredible hulk mids and I love em all. For casual wear I actually prefer the way the mids fit compared to the highs.
Mid 1s are EASILY one of my favorites, not sure why their hated on so much. But keep sleeping on em and I'll keep scooping em up!!!!
Big facts
Right. I got 3 mids...the blue, red (Union look), and the Chicago Mids...because these fools overlooking them paying resale, ass ripping prices for the highs! I’m happy! Lol
cuz hypebeasts told em too
They are hated because of the rediculous colorways
They're only hated by people you shouldn't want to impress. Last thing I'd ever wanna look like it's a sneakerhead, it's just unbelievably cringy ... Got the camo mids and get a lotta compliments, mostly from chicks who don't give a fuck about mids or highs. That's another thing about sneakerheads, fuck I care what some teenager dude thinks about my fit? Only people I'm trying to impress are myself and girls ... And I'd think most dudes are the same.
I like Jordan 1 Mids but if someone doesnt I understand, just dont make fun of someone bc they got some or like some, just bc you don't.
We agree. This culture/community is full of people going out of their way to cut another person down rather than build them up. It's turned into one of the most toxic environments online.
@@WearTesters tbh I see more love for sneakers in the replica community 🤷🏽♂️
💯
@@nelsondoton9348 That’s because the shoe game went from being about love of sneakers, to a flex / “I’m richer than you” game.
I’d imagine no one is trying to flex anything with replicas.
@@YeahNaw yeah and I see genuine people who really wants a sneaker in that community. I was thinking of getting a Jordan 4 bred and I want the best quality so I looked for some in reddit. Until now I am joined in the sub reddit and all I see are people who genuinely wants a sneaker. I didn’t buy the jordan 4s btw. I opted for a lebron 17 low for under retail in a mall near where I live since the reps I saw were going for 170.
Man those are dope regardless of them being Mids.
Lotta mids been clean af this year ... Grabbed the camo ones and get a compliment everytime I've worn it. Also got the black/red plus backups for the backup. I'm 5'8 athletic build so highs look stupid on me, but yeah, these are dope.
@@topspot4834 i just ordered the red ones they seem cool!
I bought a pair of Air Jordan 1 mids chicago 2020. I actually really like the white heel. The only other pair of 1s I had was the retro high OG shadows 2013 which I recently found out after some research. I recently got into sneakers due to this channel and I just want to say I appreciate this community and always look forward to these videos. I apologize for the small tangent there haha
You already know Chris loves a good tangent.
@@sixfiftychris both Jodi and Chris answer comments on here
I own a ton of mids, and I love them. Its ridiculous how much people hate on them.
OG highs are difficult to obtain and the resale prices are insane. Mids are much more easily accessible and cost effective.
I'd love to have more pairs of highs. But I have no problem with mids or lows. I have love for all AJ1s
true
I have these and I love them. I wear my Jordan’s!! I don’t buy 20 pairs so that I can rip people off by reselling them at a ridiculous price!! Resellers are Dbags!!
im thinking of getting some but im kinda hesitant, do they look good with blue jeans ?
As a person who can never afford the highs (thanks resellers) I’ve always loved mids. I got the orange and green version of these and i wear the absolute crap out of em. Glad theres still people like you out there who won’t shame you for not having the ‘hype’ shit.
Yo I like mids my brother hates me cause he loves highs
My guy Chris is the most knowledgeable TRUE sneaker head on UA-cam 💯👏🏼 Anytime I’m thinkin of buying a new pair of Jordan’s, I gotta check your review on em lol. The review on the Indigo 12’s sold me on them, those materials and that leather quality are 🔥🔥 Keep droppin’ that knowledge bro ✊🏼
Anything more recent to compare the leather to?
As far as 12s go, I’m not sure. It’s a petina type leather so it will fade the more you wear them. But compared to the black and gold 12s or any of the more recent releases it’s much much better ✊🏼
I’m 5’ 9” and I’ve always been into the mids, even tho it feels like most “sneakerheads” shit on em. Might be a height thing, but the collabs recently have been fire. I have blue the greats and chateau rouge and they are some of my favorite pairs to rock right now. Super comfortable
Bro I’m 5’7” and I feel the same way. Got these the yellow and red versions
Same. I'm 5'8 and always wear mids ... Not tryna impress dudes anyway, girls don't care or notice highs vs mids ... And tbh, sneakerheads are probably the last group of people I'm tryna impress.
Definitely for us shorter dudes,the mids fit soooooo much better in the ankle area.
I'm 6'8" and I still like the mids. I think the fact that MJ played in them says enough. "Sneakerheads" just give them a bad rep.
@@michaelokeke5907 did you grow any taller after 17?
"The best traction of all time. The traction is so good, it'll pop your hip out."
Man, never gets old.💯
These were the first pair of Jordan’s I liked and was actually able to buy at retail. So I’m grateful.
I love the nostalgia of buying and wearing old sneaks I grew up loving but having to enter a raffle for a “chance” at owning a pair is insane and the resale/ aftermarket prices are ridiculous. It’s a shame but the love of money corrupts everything.
I prefer themids, i’m 49 years old and saw Jordan play throughout his career, I played with the first Jordan 1 OGs, but I always hated my ankles being covered for whatever the reason, so when mids were introduced in the early 2000s it was a great compromise for me. That was the reason why the threes became one of the moles loved silhouettes, Ankle flexibility on a fast break!!
Love mids in the right color ways, rock em whenever.
You guys set the bar so high for sneaker videos on youtube I find it hard to watch other channels covering the same stuff. Keep up the great work!
We appreciate the support 🙏🏼
The Jordan 1 Mids are dope, it’s unfair that people have so much hate for them.
A lot of "sneakerheads/hype beasts" just want to resell the hype shoe and have no knowledge or respect for sneakers.
As for mids I like the fact they aren't hyped (yet) so normal guys can buy them without stupid resell.
Love the honesty of this channel, you're a sneakerhead not a hype beast.
I like the mids
I think the quality is getting better
Favorite mid now is the Chicago white heel
Yup. Air Jordan 1 Mids is one of my go to sneakers all time. Don't like the Hi so much. Lows are nice as well but I'd go for mids.
Staying off the hype and being enthusiastic in the same time is why I love this channel
Like always, buy and wear what you like. I own multiple pairs of Mids, and these may be a pickup as well if I can get my hands on them. You guys are always a good watch. Much success to y’all. 👏😁
Got this color way, the red ones, and the green ones. Can't wait for the purple ones to come out.
I love the Jordan 1 Mid. It was my first taste of Jordan 1s growing up, and for a short guy, they don't make me look like I don't have shins. The new colorways have been absolutely killer, and the quality has been going up and up. I customized a pair of white heels to look like Chicagos, and honestly I haven't felt the need to get an OG Chicago at this point. I did a video on them on my channel if curious! Angelus even featured it on Instagram!
I think the mids are fresh. I have the New Loves from a years back.
New mando pic as ur profile tuff lol
Thank you for this video. I've been rockin mids because of the colors and the materials,so I was happy to see someone as experienced as you are in the game to think the same about them. For the price you cant beat what they've been doing with these mids.
I'm grew up on lows and mids and I love them visually, but I'm opposite of Chris.
I like to wear the highs because I'm on the taller side so the extra eyelet and collar height work for me.
you both are just so sweet together. I love the talk session between you guys right after the detailed review. keep it up !
Best way to tell a mid is by looking between the nike tick tale as the colour just above it should be a smaller before you get to the next panel.
Mids have 8 eyelets and highs have 9.
@@WearTesters that takes time to count though. My method for aj1s is quicker.
Thanks for standing up for the mids...not all of them but the cut in general. I never understood the hate. I own several and prefer them than the Hi-tops cuz I'm not that tall 😀 I have the mid Union and although I didn't initially like the nylon footliner, it was so comfortable because it ain't some 'taking its time to break-in' leather.
People care about hype way too much to wear shoes that they actually like nowadays. Wear what you like, classic rule 💯
💯
6:04🤣🤣🤣. Gets me everytime 😅.
its been two years I still rock these exact pair to school
You nailed it on the head with today's "sneaker culture". Majority of the people only like the price of the shoe and not the actual shoe itself. If the union 4s were a normal GR with no name attached to it 100% no one would buy them. But as soon as people see they can sell them for $1000 they want them. Every raffle ends up being a lottery essentially now. Which really sucks for people who genuinely like the shoes and don't want to make any money off it.
These look good! Probably going to get them for my wife. Waiting on the Mocha Jordan 1s that are about to drop. Thanks again for a great review. Love to watch your relationship together. Makes the videos that much better!
i bought 2 AF1s and this is the channel I go to now
I love mids, it’s a shoe I can actually get my hands on. Every high sells out so quick. I wear the piss out of all my mids
its like every big sneaker youtubers out there are either too afraid of getting hates from reviewing 1s mids or they r just another mid haters. Thats why im so glad to see u do another review of the 1s mids. Keep up the great job Nightwing 🤩🤩🤩
I’ve got a chunky calf so mids are perfect for me 👌🏻 The sneakersnstuff mid has insane leather
Mids are fantastic, great value for the quality.
My first pair of Jordan 1 Mids I bought were the Mid Chicago White Toe. I wasn’t aware that there was a stigma attached to the mids. I think they’re clean. The mids in this video I was looking into. Want a pair with blue on them, but couldn’t settle on one. Seeing them now....they look so damn clean and will be the next pair of 1s I buy
Just bought the Jordan 1 Mid Banned 2020 on GOAT for 180. Let the hypebeasts do what they do best.
I wear my mids. Comfortable beaters. Less worry. And the color ways are not bad at all.
Also I love mids cause I'm short and they feel better on my ankles compared to the highs
Facts man
I own the pine green Mids, top 3 mids, new love mids. I love them all. They are just as classic as the highs for me, and also eliminate my cankles.. well not entirely but enough to notice lol...
I'm a short guy and I prefer lows over mids and highs but these look cool especially with the materials
Mids did got better lately, then again some are a miss still. Then again definitely noticed better than before.
The recent batch of mids releases have upped their game in quality. I want that pair!
I love mids and lately they are the only way I can get to wear AJ1s, lows and highs go direct to the resell market :(
Just bought these earlier yesterday, and boom, you just did a review. Just took a day and they broke in. Love 'em!
I remember when The Air Jordan 1 pack came out with a Black and Yellow and White and Red color ways. I believe it was in 2007-08 b/c I was in 8th Grade and the 1st Transformers movie came out. Those were nice but my mom couldn’t afford them so I had my trusty Airforce 1 lows back when they were $50-$60.
I have these exact ones in my size 9.5. I love them so much.
Bro, awesome Kermit edit. That had me cackling ! You and Mrs. Wing’s banter at the end was great. That’d be something the wife and I would be doing. She’d totally forget and I’d remember. Anyway, I love this colorway and the red one. These definitely look like they’re better quality than most newer mids. I got the Chicago black toe and the materials are straight trash. The toe box is absolutely terrible and you can feel it. I do need those pine mids though. The materials look excellent on those considering they’re mids.
Managed to watch 19 videos in 1 sitting just to catch up with recent videos 😂😂 not bad. Always enjoyed the contents whether it be nerd sh*t performance review or just any review really 🤷🏻♂️. Keep up the great work Chris and Jodi 🔥👌🏻
Nice binge session! 👏
I got those when they came out in July and those are my favorite pair of mids. Some people act they’re too booshie for mids. Good leave more for me to buy 🤷🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣
Me too
*bougie*
I friggin love mids. Not only are they the best looking cut and most comfortable, you can actually find dope colorways at a reasonable price. I mean, I just found some shattered backboards for $140 to go with the black cones I got for $50 a month ago. If someone starts talking shit, chances are they probably wernt even born when MJ was winning championships, soI just let that crap go. Cant wait to bust out my blue/grey AJ1 mid wool too. Super comfy, and slept on. A shoe I wish they would make more colorways of because they are great here in the Pacific NW.
I like cool shoes. And to me the latest mid releases have been cool AF. No matter what someone else, especially on the internet, says about them. I like em.
I hope they release a new colorway of AJ1-mid every 2 months. So those people hogging them all, run out of money.
I recently bought a pair of Jordan 1 mids in gray, black, white. Awesome shoes.
never had a problem getting mids now since the "pandemic" people are out of work but buying all the mids up
Mids are amazing they are so much cheaper than highs and are basically the same only difference is the quality is a little worse but that’s expected when the price is almost 3x less
You can sew it’s pretty easy. I learned back In High School and it’s come in handy over the years. Go watch a UA-cam video practice a few times then do a video swapping out the tongue!!!
Jordan 1s Are Jordan 1s Dont Matter If Mid Or Not I Got 2 Pairs Of Mids And 1 Pair Of Lows Which I Dont Use But As Long As You Dont Wear Flights You Should Be Good ….
Mids have always been my fav since the 07 Old Love pack! 💛🖤❤️
"Traction so good it'll pop your hip out" if you know, you know 😂
I need help with choosing shoes and you guys have been my first channel to check out, please do more Jordans!!
Lol I remember getting scolded by suggesting Weartesters wouldn't like a certain colourway of AJ1's because they were mids. I forever hang my head in shame. As a citizen of a non basketball playing country I prefer mids to highs.
The racer blue mids are coming out maybe you’ll like those I think the toe front is leather so it might be cool lol
I have these, the red, and the yellow ones! Love them all 😄.
First off, I appreciate that Bane impersonation. Haha! Forget about legitimizing them because Jordan played in them, or that this particular colorway makes them worthy, etc. AJ1 Mids are just dope, no explanation necessary. Definitely a great bang for your buck. 😁👍
Great topic feature and good honest perspectives on Mids. My son just got a pair, and did not mind wearing a Mid J-1. Got to have respect for the Highs, but like my son said, "I wear what I like"
Great Channel Chris
I love my Joker 1 mids. Those were my first Jordan shoes and I still wear them today even though the sole has started to separate.
Love these, got them when they dropped and changed the laces to the blue!!!!! Omg they pop now!!!
These shoes look like good skate shoes, im wondering how that nylon on the toe box would be. Either wear out quick af or get them flicks extra crispy
Loved them so much I bought 2. Thank you both for making my morning commute fun
I managed to get these exact ones in my size (10) and I love them.
Yes, the air Jordan 1 mid is a Gem 💎 and a bang for your buck for sure. I have 9 pairs of them and I like them. The Og high are obviously the hot commodity and are higher in price for the resell market but if you want a 1 to rock that’s nice casual I think these are it.
I never knew why people didn’t like the jordan 1 mid, they are fire in my opinion, yea the heel cup does start hurting your achilles after you have been walking.
I agree the CWs on a lot of the mids are fresh!
My main gripe with the mids is that they keep ALMOST putting them out in popular CWs but they flip the blocking a bit or change 1 panel to another colour
I have the "raygun" mids and I really like it! Mids is like a good balance between the high and low also in price.
This channel is still among the must watch channels on UA-cam, really consistent output. I’m a fan of mids, but these and the red ‘union’ style versions are poorly executed in my view. The nylon swoosh frays from day one and the nubuck looks cheap in hand. I tried these on and just couldn’t do it, only time I’ve tried a Jordan on and didn’t buy it.
That 1st statement or question was valid.
It’s weird. I’m a new-ish collector as I started in 2018. Before that I had Chucks and Kobe’s. Since I started I’ve always paid resell but it was always for unique & older kicks ppl weren’t in to anymore or their hype was gone like NMDs, Saucony, ASICS, etc. There’s always been resellers around for everything. Comes w/ the territory if money is involved or can be but it became crazy gross & peaked this yr. I saw a massive shift w/ ppl buying everything, stores backdooring, etc. & a decline for the passion of kicks themselves along w/ that community. Now the culture is just unappealing tho I still love kicks.
Rona didn’t help either. We thought prices would go back down but only got more ridiculous & gross.
2020 and out of no where Rona happens a like for 1 month everything dropped then bang. Everything’s price skyrocketed.
Got the Poor Man's Shattered Backboards and love them!!!
“Traction so good it’ll pop your hip out” 😂😂🔥
They are dope. I’ve copped those and the red/igloo colorway. They are both really dope
I love the Jordan mids. Copped a pair of laser blue, and these royal unions. The problem I have with these mids are the glue stains and some quality control issues.
Def diggin this cw. And those suede hits. 👌🏽
I agree, the highs are too high for me too. The mids are just right.
I have these mids along with the red ones. I really like them even though most "sneakerheads" would say mids aren't that good
Never really a jordan 1 fan but theses are really nice
Nightwing is the best man
I dig the AJ1 mids and lows. I got the Chicago black toes earlier this year. Wear em all the time.
As long as it has a good colorway, the Mid-1s are among my favorite Jordans. I’m not a fan of the lows. I’d rather just have runners, and I don’t love the highs, not because I don’t love how they look, because they look boss. But because the highs are tough to get on and off. And I don’t mean difficult or anything, but I’m a big fan of slipping in and out of my shoes. And I can’t do that with the highs. But with the kids I can skip in and out and they look awesome. I just picked up the mud SE grey pine green variants. Best looking shoe. And I got my daughter her first Jordans in the black, gold, and white mid-1s. She’s going to love them.
Id say the other is peach and both I like them more to wear but I've been saying it all year like the greens as soon as the highs dropped the mids that looked more like og
To be honest i only joined the sneaker game for the money but eventually i fell in love with sneakers. I only like sold around 5 sneakers then the rest i keep em for personal use hahah
