Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

[keelogram]

All the sneaker twitter accounts do all day is tweet links to mids and the people in the replies will be like “copped!” and every time I wanna slap the s*** out of them. I know it’s irrational and petty but I don’t understand how someone can think buying mids is cool

Mids are mos def trash. I've seen some nice looking lows, but I can't even do those.

what year?

They look like repainted reversed breds '85.

Mids aint even that bad if they put some decent colorways on em. Always gotta be some BS to the mids colorways.

The issue I have with Mids (aside from the stupid, large Jumpman tag) is the materials used and quality of the craftsmanship (I.e. poor cuts, etc.). I get that they are a cheaper shoe (at retail), so there are definitely trade-offs for this lower pricepoint though. I get you see issues like these with pretty much all Nike/JB sneakers at various price points (i.e. IIRC Travis 4s had some serious QC issues) but with mids this consistently seems to be a problem with most releases. Again, I’m not sure how much of this is dictated by the lower pricepoint.

Co-sign Mids are Trash.

mids materials are bad. I hit on the CLOT AJ1 Mid because its a dope concept and wearable cw, but super super disappointed by the cardboard quality. The ankle collar is stiff as hell too.

Those probably the first mid of this era of 1s I entertained buying for a few mins.

I think removing the stupid heel Jumpman was a step in the right direction. That design element made 0 sense to me because there was never anything on the AJ 1 heel to begin with. It might seem crazy now but maybe one day we’ll start seeing Mids with the NA tag, who knows.

the Blue the Great mids are pretty good, could be biased since dude is a Dallas native.

Fair.

Colorways is issue #1, then that. Guarantee you if quality was great but the colorway sucked it woudnt matte.

don't know about those crew socks on girls

 

[Froggert]

I own one pair of mids and usually wear them as beaters. Probably get more comments on them from random people than I do from all the highs put together.

You rocking Navys/Georgetowns? No idea why those never released as an OG high, especially given they released as OG-styled AJKOs as part of the Rival Pack with the UNC AJKOs.

I’m not mad at it

Pretty sure that’s his daughter

No show or ankle socks on high top sneakers are terrible....scratch that all ankle socks are atrocious leave them for the middle school kids.

Maybe some people just like the shoe or the colorways - can't knock on that . Jordan 1 Highs aren't "cooler", just some people have preferences for the high over everything else.

Lol yeah, no shows on Jordan 1 highs are one of my few pet peeves.
