The negativity around the Jordan mids definitely revolves around the underlying elitist mindset and exclusivity in the sneaker/streetwear scene nowadays. With most Jordan 1 highs/lows being hyped or hard to purchase, those who end up buying them have either paid a lot of money or have committed a lot of effort. When they see others buying mids which are readily available (albeit in different colours), those with highs/lows look down on the mids and associate them with people who don't know much about sneakers or streetwear. That's a sad trend in streetwear over the last couple of years with people trying to flex on each other over social media and showing how much they know about the scene or how much they spend on shoes.
No The hate originates from the fact that Jordan dint wear them on court
@@Flatbedcruz and they aren't og (no nike air)
@@Flatbedcruz ? If you ever seen MJs PEs they look more like Mids than highs
All the nice color ways for 1 mids on the main shoe retailer sights are usually sold out now too along with lows and highs. Kinda glad they did this video because I was curious what peoples specific reasons were for not liking them.
No it just has to do with the wack jump man on the tongue
I think Chris from Weartesters explained that Michael Jordan actually used to rock mids/swapped out for mid during games, but it wasn’t well documented because of camera quality back then and people couldn’t tell the difference. It was a comfort/performance issue for him.
Your comment should have way more likes just for the Chris from WearTesters name drop! Dude is an OG in the sneaker community. His knowledge is almost unmatched on TH-cam
True, Jordan was wearing mids. From experience as well, high don't have flex ankle room.
Jordan didnt wear mids he wore a hybrid high top with the mid height but the nike air tounge
@@xqrshandle He didn’t rock mids *as we know them today* as in their shape & cut. But generally speaking, he sometimes preferred to wear slightly lower cut Jordan 1’s that were considered mids. And yes, I’m aware it still had the Nike Air logo as the Jumpman logo wasn’t featured on a Jordan model until the 3’s and weren’t featured on mids until later retros of the 1’s. I never insinuated that he’d have rocked “todays AJ1 mids” as that wouldn’t make chronological sense with production date.
Lyna answered the question lol. Y'all are groupies for hype shoes. If Kanye or Jerry Lorenzo said mids were in yall would be rocking them ASAP. I couldn't imagine if Travis Scott started wearing them lol. You all would change your opinion yesterday.
Kinda, Jerry Lorenzo did dropped sum mid cut sneakers (fog raids) and they arent as hot. 😭😭
@@tvisionary9024 lol I get what you’re saying but Jordan mids would hit if he rocked them…brand name plus his name.
@@tvisionary9024 the AJ1 highs and miss are pretty much identical, whereas the FOG 1s are noticeably different from the FOG Raids, Mocs, and shoot arounds. Guarantee if there was AJ1 mid with, say, a Travis Scott collab, people would eat it up.
Big fax! They just mad they can't pull em off.
Travis Scott rocked a pair of Trainer mids recently. Watch these guys submit to mids.
Agree with Lyna, just bullies and resellers that hate on mids to keep people spending more $$$ and making them sales, and newbies to the shoe game just jump on the hating bandwagon because social media tells them to
I fucking love this girl she's for the sneaker people! 💕😭
She's my boo I gave her that name . Ask her husband haha
There's nothing wrong with mids. I actually like them. I hope people hate it more so i can buy them more easilly.
Fr bro
its the colours that they come in. The colours are trash in comparison to highs and lows
@@kasper2917 true but I think there are some really underrated color ways in mids, not a fan of most but some are nice af
Foreal . True sneakers heads know what they got . I have the royal ones and I have the racer blue mid ones and I like to wear both of them equally .
French blue mids and the hyper royals the ones that they had in the beginnin of the video (black back not the ones with blue lace eyelets) are two examples of kuu mids I was stuck workin in Texas when I decided 1s are 1s at the end of the day
If you grew up in NYC in the late 90's then you probably had those NYC Mid AF1's. Mids are considered trash now because the game is full of corny, trend following hypebeasts.
Facts
Af1 mids will always hold a special place for me.
And wore troops in the 80's so what are we talking about? (jokes) if you really drip you rock what you like and make the fit look jiggy.
I live in NYC now and love mid AF1’s lol
Truth here. Hypebeasts like this table of 5 people.
It's interesting how the 1st and last questions are related: resellers not caring if they mess up the culture and resellers hating on mids bc they don't resale for as much.
True dripsters can drip anything
Following other people’s rules is highly corny!
It’s funny that they liked this comment 😂😂 but preach broski facts are facts
I've been saying this for a while. I drip. And I own some shit none of these guys even mention. I had mids before the Fear mids. Some SB dunk mids are fire too. Look at the up coming one.
Yeah wear what YOU like and you can never go wrong.. it’s okay to do trends but keep it authentic to your style
@@backgroundsinger1693 This
i wear jordan 2s lol
If Travis were to do a Jordan 1 mids, then people will start going like Jordan mids are great. It's all about who's hyping up the shoes.
Fuck the hypebeasts. One person argues on here saying mids arent dope because Jordan never wore them on the court. He didnt wear lows on the court so wheres the hate? Hypebeasts 🙃
Here is the thing re: Jerry Lorenzo vs Kanye... Kanye has way more shoe/sneaker innovation/expertise.. . Jerry has built MUCH more apparel expertise in the last 5 years (even though Kayne may have started earlier). His 7th collection blending men's wear and street wear... chefs kiss.
Kanye has to be the most influential on this planet. And if it isn’t fashion its his music no 🧢‼️
It's always a good day when Richie drops a new vid 🔥
Johnny talking shit about mids when homie cant rock highs cuz they look they about to burst lmao
"Rock what you like not what's hype". Like who cares what people think??? How old are y'all? Lol I wear highs, lows, and mids. Tan stays trashing mids but as soon as he sees the resell he quickly changes his mind. Dude is a 🤡
Facts
Fax no printer
😂😂 they lame they liked the comment
@@Ape_PONR I'll be damned if it was Tan 😂
The mids just look off to me. They nice but I like highs more.
The reason why resell has been blowing up is resell and bots. I respect peoples hustle but people are waking up there’s an option b (reps)
I wear jordan mids. Some of the color ways are 🔥.
But Mids looks great on not so tall human like me. Wearing a high makes my leg appeared shorter than it looks tbh.
Yes thats why i dont like highs, They look giants on my body
@@aldairsec24 fr what's the point having limited sneaker that you can't actually wear/doesn't suit us 😂
One of the first reasons people originally didn’t like the mids is because Michael Jordan didn’t actually play in those when he was playing
@@Flatbedcruz MJ did wear mids, in 1985 he had a PE mid in the Chicago color way.
Totally agreed
The weird thing is that MJs PEs that he actually wore in game are closer to Mids than Highs so the argument that MJ never wore Mid 1s is false
Yea the older retros in the early 2000s had that "mid" cut until they revised the cut midway through the 2010s.
I luv that you came with actual facts 🤘💯
😂 facts but remember you're talking to hype beast they follow trends that's all . No knowledge only like what people tell them too haha
@@bottomherout2357 you just described everyone on Twitter as well 🤣😆🤣 😆
@@stephenross710 😂😂 I almost forgot them they the worst when it come to following the leader haha people will literally do anything to have some attention haha
I rock everything.. If I look good i feel good, doesn't matter high mid's lows, real or replicas. I don't care! I do it cause I look fly not for what people think.. I'm never going to see these people ever again, so why waste my energy trying to impress people that are going to hate. Live your life for you, not for others. Fashion shouldn't be about hype, it should be about your personality your character.. Show the people who you are through your threads and sneakers.
But Jordan actually wore mids though….
For so many people who bash the Jordan 1 mids they seem to sell out almost every time. I'm a og at age 51 and I have been wearing Jordan's since I bought my first pair back in 1985. Love the og highs and mids but not a fan of the lows. But that's what makes it so great that we have all these free choices.
Tan a whole menace, I love it! LOL
Keep grinding Richie 🤝
starting the week with a Richie Le Video 💯
best quote: "if you're not trying to sell 'em its ok". People that hate reps the most are the resellers. ...and some of the mids are fire, but the biggest issue is the materials are usually shit.
Happy Monday Rich 💪🏼
aint nothing like starting the day with richie. 🤜🏽🤛🏽
bootlicker hahaha
Fr
👊
I do reaction videos & storytimes while smoking weed on my TH-cam channel 🔥💯
mhm
I remember my bday my mum bought me a pair of mids and I rock them to school just to get teased at school but they don't know money don't grow on trees so whatever u have just appreciated it man
respect🖤🗣
"bless your heart girl bless your heart" 😂😂😂😂 this was such a good episode all the way around!
there is a difference between reselling something that doesn’t fit you then buying multiple pairs to resell for double the price
But if your reselling what doesn’t fit you for double the price, it’s really the same concept
@@prodigy9885 I really don’t see how it is. If you hit on a shoe and wanna sell it cool. It’s one shoe. You entered and won a single shoe. Not 30. Also, if I buy a shoe that I think looks dope, get it, and I hate it, I don’t think it’s wrong to resell it. If I got a homie who wants it I’d probs plug them but saying that reselling one pair vs 10-30 pairs as the same is just ridiculous to me
@@prodigy9885 no but in the video they were getting into the girl about reading the shoes she didn’t like, but it’s not like she was a actual reseller
Bro Tan capping so hard on the whole Mids part guy’s just a sheep that follows what the crowd says ahahah
It’s his whole personality
Yeah I've seen that more and more with this channel mostly the same opinion definitely sheep ngl
You guys have fully committed to a scalper market. Anything new or hype gets sold out instantly. And now scalpers move on to new markets like gpus and consoles. People are too brain dead to stop themselves from buying the new sneaker of the week at resale to the point that y’all are buying shoes with fake leather at 5x-10x market price. Congrats
Another dope segment of House of Hype🔥.
This episode was hella funny😂😂😭
Them replicas are like 1:1 now. As long as you’re not gonna resell em as “real” then yes those are perfect. You get a price that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and you get the look you want. Don’t see how anyone can care so much about what others are wearing anyways
I wear reps all day for that exact reason I can get the Travis Scotts for $110 instead of $1200 and they look the exact same so not only do I get the same shoe I still have money to get other stuff 😂 win win no one's ever said ayy bro those are fake
@@fuckyoutube1999 I buy from a guy first name Deez last name Nuts.
@@fuckyoutube1999 lol you asking dumb questions bro 😂 like you either the feds or you really want some reps either way giving up my plug not going to happen haha no disrespect but TH-cam has lots of videos on where to get them
Replicas are imo the best option out. I can buy a pair of sneakers reselling for $700 for less than retail and wear them without worrying about beating them up. It's a no brainer.
@@bottomherout2357 hope you ain’t flexing them like they real tho cuz then you hella corny
Great video Guys keep making that 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best way to start off the Monday
In the UK the sneaker culture has changed so much over the years.
5 years ago you would not have not seen a single person in high tops because I feel like people over here didn’t want to jump on the “USA high top” wave lol.
I also feel like that’s still applicable. In the UK everyone wears mids and highs because that’s all you can get over here and you can go into JD Sports or footlocker and pick up a pair of mids
People be thinking they sneaker heads rocking mids 😂
No cap bruv I lived there 10 years ago and it used to be vans and boat shoes people would get clowned wearing high tops. I use to walk out of JD with a pair of Lacoste trainers thinking how much drip I just got 😂
MJ actually had to have his 1 highs customized and restructured to a mid for in game.
My second pair of Jordans were Jordan banned Mids, I didn’t know the difference then but now I’m stick with them
Hey Richie Le what’s the ID on the ACG cap? I know there are several versions of it. Thanks man.
Tan was ruthless in this one LOL
I bought a used "white heel" chicago mid 1s in pristine condition and painted the heel red = budget chicago 1s 💥
LETS GO THEY BACK
i felt this video, just wear what you like and what you want. i wear jordan 2s been doin it since the 2016 pair dropped they creased but again idc i wear what i like :D
Lyna, as always, the voice of reason and truth.
I rock with mids cuz I don't hate on anyone spending $115 minimum on a sneaker! Replicas same thing but they gotta be good because you gotta do the brand justice that your ripping off! If there booty replicas then I don't agree. Jerry Lorenzo is the man!
IMO as far as Reps goes, if someone don’t pass them off as authentic I’m all for it. But you do have people who do try to pass it off as authentic and that’s why a lot of people are against it.
Just don’t resell reps is all I ask
Yeah don’t try to flex like they’re real too. It’s like wearing a body builder suit and saying you’re as strong as a real body builder. You’re not
I love how people say they hate resellers and they wish there were gone, well then say good bye to every shop like flight club, cool kicks and rif la, all staples in the sneaker community
Ok.. goodbye then? What’s your point.
without resellers those wouldnt need to be around because so many more people would be able to get there hands on sneakers and the people who didnt could always find them somewhere else im sure new companys would come in and start a place like stock x,goat,flight club etc where people go to buy shoes although it wouldnt rlly be needed as so many people would be able to get there hands on them
😆 🤣 much love to the hype beast bro!
I love coping cheap jordan 1 mids! All yall hype beast keeping my pockets fat 😆.
Stay away from my budget jordans bro 😆
Jordan preferred the mids over the high look at the 3 and 4 mid cut
Big boi rocking the jays hat 🔥🔥🔥
Need more of this!!!
sheeeesh i know this finna be fire
the MIds that caught my eyes are the "New Loves" , I wasnt a fan of wearing black n yellow but for some reason that changed my mind lol .
That’s why I rock mids most of the time. Just to prove a point. Always funny when I wear jeans and get compliments on them.
I think we need a shake up in the retail purchasing model. The draws are just not working and I find myself paying for resell on 9 out of my 10 purchases the past 5 years. I think the pre-order model may work out for everyone, even the resellers will get their piece but much smaller. To
Tan is a menace
i work in a sneaker store and tbh there r stereotypes of people who wears mids, imma quit it next month. they dont care about sneaker history no more
It’s all about hype which don’t get me wrong I do like some hype but I don’t do all that like how some people do
If it’s a resell sneaker store I can see why too though. They usually want to push the more popular and more expensive pairs since it’s usually more profitable.
I’ve had shadow 1s and black toe 1s and they all got beat to heck, I wish I had them still fresh till this day
Interesting to hear the opinion that as long as you don’t buy fakes to sell them but wear them…because the resellers bought all the real ones! We are watching the House of Hype, afterall. Hype - 1. noun, extravagant or intensive publicity or promotion. 2. verb, promote or publicize (a product or idea) intensively, often exaggerating its importance or benefits.
I shall keep wearing and collecting the sneakers and shoes I like and I shall also keep watching this show. Have a great week, guys. Stay healthy and safe!
Johnny Boi needs to write a book 😂
Just a quick reminder, Michael Jordan hated the AJ1 cause it was too tall and he had custom mid AJ1s on for his games. Soooo the GOAT himself liked mids ✌🏼
wear whatever you like is the key
How can you not hate resellers (if you’re not one of em) we paying crazy prices for normal quality sneakers + the moneys not going to the brand or designer but to some annoying dude
I understand where your coming from, but why would you want to give a million dollar corporation more money when you could be giving your money to that “annoying dude” who probably just needs extra money? That sounds dumb to me.
@@prodigy9885 that big corporation is the one providing you with what you love (the sneakers) while the reseller is just a middle dude making money off your back when you should be able to get that pair for whatever price the producer sold it for
There was some black and yellow ones years ago I forget what they were called but they were crazy
Tang Tang with the Edgar cut going on
My favourite Jordans are mids [4s and 3s]. I think the J1 Mid just has lower quality but I prefer them over the high because I'm sort and Highs make my legs look stumpy LOL
I have been rocking J's since 85 in 5th grade, I wear what I want and what I like...I like Mids and Highs, not huge on lows but wear what you like, not what others say is "cool"
Tan with the Edgar haircut 💀 Edgar Edgar Edgar 🎶
Jordan mids are fire!!!!(IMO) Don't listen to what people say the mids are selling and are super popular!!!
Highs are better but mids are still good!!!
Mids hate is something that is definitely a big social thing. If you wear them you'll be teased kinda thing. But it started out by people/older sneaker heads only wanting true to the OG models. Only og colourways and have to have that Nike air on there.
The cut doesn't matter cause if you showed someone the DMP 1s they would say they're fire even though that cut is a mid.
It's all a bit messy. But you CAN be a sneakerhead and like/own/rock mids. Just because there's a self imposed negative connotation with a pair of shoes doesn't change anything if YOU like them.
Tiktok has changed the outlook on mids and lows too. And pushed them to not only sell out instantly but resell for heaps too. Proving that old mentality of keeping it OG doesn't matter to the majority. If the colours are nice and the popularity and demand is there people will buy them but also love them. And there's nothing wrong with that.
I put my Jordan 1 mid next to my Dunk high next to each other.. they exactly the same height!
I remember when Riche Le's advice to short people is to avoid high cut shoes
But he has some High 1s 🥴
The facetasm fearless pack mids are fire.
I have about 30 mids in my collection (ds) plus my beaters are Obsidian,Storm blues and Chicago Black Toe 🤷♂️
Wait why would you have 30 ds pairs of mids tho?
@@noebarrera978 im a collector 🤷♂️
@@noebarrera978 and why DS mids? I love mids but wear your kicks
2:08 tan with the weasel's face hahaha
J1 Mids Are 🔥 I Will Always Buy Them
It’s like wearing 3/4 pants 😂 prefer jogger or short short 🔥 so highs and lows it is 🥳
RICHIE LEEEEEEEEEE
Whens the MNML story coming out tho
I love that people don't like mids. I love em! More for me, I can actually get my hands on them. I'm a basketball fan not a sneaker head
Mids are closer to the custom made for Jordan to wear originally in game. The 3/4 patent leathers are actually tbe approximate height worn by MJ.
Reseller here. A lot of people I sell a shoe to it's because the shoe is sold out locally and sometimes entirely for older shoes. So I look at it as providing a service. Online ordering for sold out items they cant acquire. And if they really want it they'll pay more. Resell is all about supply and demand.
Man just do what you gotta do and stop caring. One day people will start accepting. Everything Changes.
I’m like Brandon when Richie mentioned that shit as sneaker of the year
Jordan wore a lot of mids during his career…. 🤦🏻♂️
My day complete
No problem with mids some are dope
….cause this generation grew to be more insecure what others think. Just like UAs are made from same factory and look very much alike to “retail” nowadays.
F*ck that fake sh*t
@@Americansikkunt it’s obvious u are living under a rock. Go educate urself today’s UAs.
@@Kicks80 UAs being the same as authentic shoes is also not true. There is a certain stylecode for reps which can be highlighted via black light for example
@@stev9155 Yeah that's definitely true but god forbid someone whips out a blacklight talking bout some legit check 🤓 on the street
@@stev9155 retails and UAs aren’t all created equally. I’ve seen plenty of retails pair from Foot Locker looking weird AF. Glue stains..thick toe box…shoe boxes are off color etc. Funny how some insecure people don’t talk about it.
The only reason mids are hated on is because of the material, the highs are a little bit better but not much. I'd rather get the light fusion red around retail price rather than getting a mid.
I honestly can’t tell the difference between the mids and highs aside the Jordan logo.
I just really prefer the Nike air on the tongue, and also mid colorways are purposely so bad to stray from any OG colorblocking. It just looks awkward
Are 2013 “og high” 1s considered mids? They branded them as og high… we need answers
As someone who isn’t able to drop 300+ on sneakers. Mids are pretty much what I’m stuck too. And I can fuck with them
Yessir need Chelsea sneakers !!!
I tried the sole protectors on my 85 High neutral greys and it was peeling off after one wear. Never again.
It's sad because some people that hate mids hate them so much they refuse to be seen with someone wearing them. Like they're dirty shoes. Smh.
Mid, low, high...if it's fire...I'm rocking it...i couldn't care less about what others think.
All my Jordan’s are bought retail , I buy at least 3 pairs each month, yes it’s a little hectic sometimes but works for me, I am not a reseller , I ware every pair bought at least once
