So glad I grabbed these. Jordan’s Mid game has been fantastic lately. They’ve stepped it up. I’m glad the hypebeasts don’t dig the mids. (Yet) More for me.
rose anvil says otherwise, and if you missed outbon a mid because of the demand on some of these colors, you are overpaying just like the highs, because the mid quality aint that good when it was shown cut in half.
Man I love listening to this dude. It's actually rare for sneaker reviews where the person reviewing is so knowledgeable and the video is so informative as well as being a dope review in general.
Facts bro. Copped these for £74 with the Nike 10% student discount. That's like just over half price compared to high's. Don't know why ppl sleep on the Mids.
This channel is one of the smartest sneaker channels I know of. I swear, the amount of knowledge these two possess is so damn crazy (I'm not a super smart sneakerhead myself so take that how you will)
@@antonmothes3160 If you saw the 1s MJ played in they were shorter than the highs that were sold retail. They are called OG because its the orignal version that were sold. Mids were not sold back then it was just aj1 highs and AJKOs.
I was lookin close at them in the last dance documentary. They are mids that look high because of the way he wears his socks and the unique design. Also, I saw a review of some game worn AJ1s they look different to regular mids they don't have the height though.
Grabbed these cause u never see this color way...ever, never mind on mids... which I actually like better, less bulk, whole Basketball Sneaker business goes lower and lower.... Think Mike knew better and wanted less bulk while he was flying...
Same love highs but the mids just like more like a sneaker or more fashionable to me but the colorways always turned me off and the materials felt ridged but these look great and I got one and they are so comfortable
@@rexnihilum7822 that's where it makes no sense they called the white with black trim the black toe but this one actually has a black toe to me this would be a true black toe
Man I love you and your wife's take at the end of your videos thats my favorite part, I stared incorporating my wife's outbursts (lol) in my videos on my channel because of y'all. I love your content and keep up the good work!
I got these straight up because of the colorway. I'd never purchase any mids before but was bummed that I missed out on the 1's released for all-star weekend, so when these came out I didn't hesitate. The quality is sub-par FOR SURE, but the affordability makes up for it. I also don't feel bad about making these daily kicks. I've been wearing mine since the day I got them and they feel more comfortable every day. Definitely didn't think they were gonna sell out but I'm not surprised because as far as I can tell, everyone thinks these are the best mids ever. And I would have to agree. Like someone else said, glad the hypebeasts still hate mids so I didn't have to fight any bots to get these.
I'm glad you've done a video on these, all the sneaker youtubers I follow literally haven't mentioned these once just because they're a mid; theyre hella dope
I’m an older dude and have been around shoes for like 30 years. I still remember my older neighbour getting the Vs with the tongue. Fire. Anyway dope videos man.
Just got these on retail. Agreed with at least an extra white laces. Black toebox can hide creases and blacl soles won't look dirty. Always a great review. Keep safe.
Bro I'm not gonna lie I didn't know these released till I saw the vid in my sub box this morning. I copped immediately. Just another way Nightwing's coming thru for us lol
Oyedotun Onabanjo he’s not just talking about the tag on the tongue the actual tongue is different on mids way thinner and cheaper and taller it we want it to have aa thicker lower cut tongue more similar to the highs I think that would improve the mids greatly
Love the content brother, always great vids. Was thinking about copping those but haven’t. Most recent grabbed the red/white lows. And the court purple highs
You should do a sole swap and transplant it onto something with a zoom strobel. Make the all time traction with the all time cushion. Something like the KD 13 with a Jordan 1 outsole
Started watching this channel after I bought these shoes and watched your pine green video. so glad that you ended up reviewing them. Great color way and great video!
Got this shoe about a month ago. Hibbett let them out early and I got lucky! Thanks for reviewing them! Like your wife, I didn’t like the black toe, however it has grown on me the more I wear it. Also, I wish they would have used the pine green mid leather on the red!
I have j1 mid and high, and you can tell the difference when wearing them, the softness of the leather in a high j1 is way better than the mid. You have to break in the mid, it's stiff as hell, I have to break it in for a long time, now it's worn out but feels better. Thing is, i really like the mids than the high, oh well, hopefully they will make better quality in mids even if they bump the price a bit.
I was gonna sat exactly what you said. These are closer to the lower cuts MJ actually wore on the court, If you look at film or video of Jordan in 85 these mids look exactly like what he played in.
Hey Chris, when I heard you talk about Genuine leather, it reminded me of the channel Rose Anvil, who does leather stuff. He has a whole video talking about how Genuine is actually the lowest grade of leather (and a clever marketing scheme). Also, he cut a jordan 1 in half to check the leather quality lol.
He recently spit apart the shattered backboard, and revealed that its just okay leather. Much to the hypebeast propping it up as the standard for "good leather in jordans".
I saw that vid as well, was definitely surprised. I like to think Nike used better materials back in the 80s and 90s since demand wasnt as high as today and probably not as expensive. I know they have gotten cheap some where along the line with materials even with Jordan 1 OGs.
I let this pass me once or twice but just couldnt resist the chicago colorway . . Finally grabbed me a pair and Im glad I did . . Mids are so underrated . . Materials arent the best but not the worst either and they look good on feet !
I ordered these cause of your video. I didn't realize these were dropping cause of all the CoronaVirus quarantine stuff going on. I been wanting a legit Chicago Bulls colorway of a Jordan 1 high or mid, I didn't care. I just wish the leather was better on Jordan 1 mids.
I remember wanting a pair of 1’s when they came out as a kid and they didn’t have em when we went to the mall so I needed up with the Payless black and red versions. I think it’s time to redeem my Jordan 1 dream as a 45 year old man lol.
These were my first ever pair of AJ1s that were gifted to me, now i have 6 to 7 pairs of different Air Jordan's that i have collected in a short amount of time :)
Love your vids. You provide much more information in a more sophisticated way than average shoe-tubers. Honest, detailed reviews. Since a fan of actual leather, I prefer highs. Missed your comments on the latest black-pine green... I love the look and materials, but after a few days use a portion of glue from the side evaporated, causing a gap between the rubber and leather panels. I suppose they used a less flexible glue on an incredibly soft and matte leather. Do you think the fire red 4s rumored to release on Black Friday are for real? Thanks for the good work!
Mids all day to...Jordan didn’t ball in the og highs that’s why I love when the older dudes try to downplay me with my mids I’m like he balled in the mids I’m chilling they og highs because the OGs wore high top sneakers and mj wasn’t the og at that time but Nike had to produce highs to sell them mj preferring mids is just epic to me so I’ll stick with my mids and I literally just purchased these same mids I believe it said black toe on there
I got these in the mail two days ago and they’re straight fire, I love them. First pair of AJ1 mids I’ve grabbed. The other mids that had recently caught my eye were the Milan’s. This colorway is called Chicago Black Toe if I’m not mistaken.
I picked up my first pair of Mids. I had a hard time pulling the trigger as I love the High but said f the hype. I got the Incredible Hulk 🧟♂️🔥colorway couldn’t resist. Great review 😁
Every time you say leather, I think of Brad Hall... food cracks me up, but the shoe looks dope, especially for the price... You guys always do a great job.
2019 was a great year for mids. I personally love the maison chateau rouge and blue the greats. The quality was top notch and mids really do give you more range of motion and comfort than most highs. People love to throw shade at mids without even knowing why they dislike them 🤷🏼♂️
Just copped today they are fresh I think they are kinda underrated , comfortable too. Only thing he is right the sticker in the inside would be cool but aye it is what it is !
Love the Pinky and the Brain at the beginning. I also enjoy Mrs. Wing’s comments and her addition to the videos is awesome. Also old school Gold Team was better even though Blue Team had Gambit and Rogue. Love the videos I watch all of them I bit behind from 3 days without power but I’m catching up.
My first ever Jordan sneaker was the Joker 1 mids and I still wear them to this day even though it feels like some parts of the sole underneath the foot bed have separated
Best mid of all time the first jordan I had since I was super young as the Jordan 1 mids which im just now realizing that I was 17 going into my season yeah but I would cop just to sell tho lol
My girl got me a pair for my birthday, I almost cried. I can't even ... pure love!
Got it for christmas, so happy !
So glad I grabbed these. Jordan’s Mid game has been fantastic lately. They’ve stepped it up. I’m glad the hypebeasts don’t dig the mids. (Yet) More for me.
same . . Makes the mids more affordable
pi_solefly they already are affordable..
N ok one cares about mids they do gay
No one will ever dig the mids
Oh ok, William.
These are fresh...They’ve been killing the mids lately
@Nicholas Garcia ayo
I see you everywhere lmao
Mids bread soon
Metal Head ong I be seeing him everywhere even on type beats
Just got mines a week ago, these are the most uncomfortable fucking shoes ever
Ill take the mids anyday. The quality looks the same on feet. No one is petting my sneakers to see how soft the leather is anyway lol
rose anvil says otherwise, and if you missed outbon a mid because of the demand on some of these colors, you are overpaying just like the highs, because the mid quality aint that good when it was shown cut in half.
U can just look and see how shitty the plastic leather, is
@@davidlouis6963 no shit
@@davidlouis6963 And that's why they don't cost as much.
@@bookerwilliams4264 But people think the patent plastic on the XI looks good lol, shit looks cheap as fuck
Man I love listening to this dude. It's actually rare for sneaker reviews where the person reviewing is so knowledgeable and the video is so informative as well as being a dope review in general.
Mid haters are butthurt because they'll have to pay ScamX 4 times as much for a High in the same color.
Facts bro. Copped these for £74 with the Nike 10% student discount. That's like just over half price compared to high's. Don't know why ppl sleep on the Mids.

only he don't go on random shitt for too long
Rocked mine a few days ago. Got more compliments than any of my high priced super exclusive Js.
all the hypebeast don’t know that the jordan 1s Jordan wore basically were mids but no one does their research anymore
I get why Jordan preferred to play in mids. I don't play in highs. I think they are too bulky. Mids are perfect.
Yeah sure thats why the OGs are called High OG.
@@antonmothes3160 If you saw the 1s MJ played in they were shorter than the highs that were sold retail. They are called OG because its the orignal version that were sold. Mids were not sold back then it was just aj1 highs and AJKOs.

These are the best Mids I’ve seen!! Love how they changed up the Chicago with the black toe, and black bottoms!!
Mid hate is so stupid, these look dope, can’t wait to get my pair
If you don't F with these, you are officially just a hype beast. These are fire.

Chicago Black toe is what they are calling these
Isn't the black toe the one where the toe area is black and white ?
I just realized what feels wrong, the toebox is bred inverted
I got em yesterday and reviewed em lol didn’t know what to call em either lol
Stay safe
@@rexnihilum7822 that's where it makes no sense they called the white with black trim the black toe but this one actually has a black toe to me this would be a true black toe

Got a pair for myself and one for the homie. They're pretty dope. Closest thing I'll get to Chicago's for a while haha
Fr tho imma get me a pair of these

Finally someone said it. Don't get me wrong I have a lot of Jordan shoes as well but I agree with Mrs. Wing the Bred Toe term sounds dumb.
Can’t wait for this to hit the stores in my country.
Where are you from homie ?
I was actually thinkn bout painting the toecap but honestly it's growing on me.. these are dope af

I like the way you talk, explain and your humor! You have a lot of knowledge in the sneakers jordan ‘s , thats cool to watch !
Mids are so lucky to escape all that hype,atleast we get value for the money spent and enjoy sneaker as a sneaker rather keep them in a showcase
Just here for Jodi's thoughts on 'em. Sorry Chris, you're my man but...yeah... 😂
🤣..
Türkiye'de nereden bulabilirim xd
I love how chill these videos are ! All of them
Got mine on order, best mids by Jordan so far. 🔥
I have been just rocking mids since the first time I started to collect. They are cool enough to express the idea and the aesthetics.
I loved your explanation of the difference between mids and highs!
There's been some good mids - I still just need Nike to MAKE THE TONGUE LIKE THE HIGHS and I'd be about them
Agreed everyone would go for this if no jump man air but NIKE on tongue
Oyedotun Onabanjo he’s not just talking about the tag on the tongue the actual tongue is different on mids way thinner and cheaper and taller it we want it to have aa thicker lower cut tongue more similar to the highs I think that would improve the mids greatly
*“bread toast”*
Good reference to pinky & the brain. Love the Animaniacs. These sold out on most sites I visited...sorta surprised cuz seems like most hate mids 🤷🏻♂️
Love the content brother, always great vids.
Was thinking about copping those but haven’t. Most recent grabbed the red/white lows. And the court purple highs
I got these from stockx last week. When I saw the colorway it was a definite cop for me. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I can't wait to wear them.
You should do a sole swap and transplant it onto something with a zoom strobel. Make the all time traction with the all time cushion. Something like the KD 13 with a Jordan 1 outsole
You mentioned that the mids should get their own box, they used to come in a black and red wings box around 2013
Best intro EVER. The nostalgia is real!!! Lol
Also the AJ1 mid pine green looks so clean
Started watching this channel after I bought these shoes and watched your pine green video. so glad that you ended up reviewing them. Great color way and great video!
Glad i got a pair before they sold out
Cool video 👍🏽. Watching this gets me pumped for "The Last Dance" on Sunday!!
Man I like when the Mid does colorways like this
Copping these are so fire🔥thanks man
Love the look . Just scored a pair thought they were sold out . Came here to confirm the look of the shoe. Thank you !
J1mid is the greatest shoe I've ever worn. I've worn only them since they came out. Swooping yet another triple black today before they're gone.
Good job,enjoy watching your videos.Nice to see the team work,you guys crack me up.Keep up the good work.

👍🏾 Nice review and I’ll definitely be going after these wish they were a SE Mid with the better leather quality tho.
Got those this week on stock x probably the last time I use them but a good affordable shoe
Yeah, they basically handed the crown to GOAT after that crap they are pulling.
@@larrylister1185 what happened? Stock x is super slow for me i never use it anywaya
