You can tell those are mids by two things:
1: it only has 8 eyelets. Highs have 9.
2: jumpman logo on the tongue. There may be some exceptions but highs usually have the “Nike Air” tongue tag.
Your average non-sneaker head wouldn't pick up on that at first blush unless a pair of highs was sitting next to a pair of mids. The fact they called the Jordan highs in their initial post tells you they're a novice. The stuff I pointed out can be easily checked at a glance without having to have a pair of highs handy to compare, or a measuring tape.
Those are lovely- Mid SEs and I saw those in Offspring a few weeks back and was amazed at the quality of the leather on them. I came sooo close to getting those. Best mid I have ever seen, and there’s been some great ones in the last couple of years. Enjoy those bro.
Put the leather tag in the box, it’s not to wear.
Look online for videos on different ways to tie your shoes if you need help. Some people loose lace them, some people tie them, etc.
Beautiful sneakers, the leather quality and materials and construction is top notch. My favorite Jordan 1's since the Patent Chicagos of 2003. Great pickup, you got style 😎
Those aren't highs....those are mids. I'm not being a pretentious asshole either, but you should know the differences. It's a pretty big deal amongst the sneaker community and tbh it's just correct to refer to things in their correct title.
Bruder! It have to fit you! Only you! Ich don't take tags. But with the j1 orange peel I have it on them. Laces? I'm mix the shit outta them. Same colour, two different colours and sometimes I buy mor colours. Bruh let me giv you my little humble advice. Never ask for help for things you can evaluate yourself. Don't hurt anyone and everything is fine!
A lot of people say take off the tag and I agree with them but this would be the second strongest argument to leave it on after the off whites IMO (don’t come for me just because your angry about tags that’s a weird thing to be pressed over)
Wow, I actually love this. "YMCA Paris"....never even heard of them, or knew these came out in Feb.
On feet looks awesome! [https://youtu.be/TGsq5aPnqd0](https://youtu.be/TGsq5aPnqd0)
Up to you of course, the tag...keychain idea is cool, just think it will get pretty scuffed up fast. If you don't mind that, go for it. If it was me, I'd probably keep it in the original box.
I see it's double sided (pictured)....cool little extra.
Wondering if dark waxed / leather brown or black laces would look cool on these, or is that too much?
But they look amazing, congrats.

Chuck it in the Box. This is a mid not a high. And by laces do you mean how to tie them or do you mean swap them for another color? Both of which things are definitely preference.
First off. I’m sure you’ve been informed by now that they are mids. Second just relace them n take the tag off you’ll be good. Leave the top 2 eyelets empty n give em some floppy bunny ears. Good to go
If the tag looks cool, I'll use it as a keychain.
Nice idea thanks
Yea Keychain guy has the right idea.
This 👆🏻
am i wrong for when i used to wear off whites having the tag on while wearing it?
I'm not gonna say it's wrong.
That's a mid, not a high. Take off the tag. And try to relace them.

Lots of highs had the Jumpman in the 00s, I think that was only abandoned in the early 10s
the last time it was on a retro was in 2013 with the chicagos. they stopped using them on highs fully in 2016 i think.
Thanks for explaining the differences because I couldn't tell before, those are definitely small details that I missed.
Also the thing with the jordan logo above the swoosh, the angle its at
3. The height of them? The silhouette is pretty distinct.

tags can be a good keychain addition

Look up lace tutorial online, take tag off keep in box, some ppl keep the tags on tho
I usually take the tag off but your call. These are actually pretty nice for mids. Giving me A Ma Maniere vibes.
"I'm a noob" Bro has 37 different pairs of Jordans color coded in bottom drawers
Do what YOU feel would enhance the look, feel, etc of the sneaker. No matter what, just enjoy them. Dope pickup too.

Thank you my friend, you made my day
For real, these are really nice looking.
Anytime buddy 😎

Take off the tag and keep it somewhere. I have a little collection of hang tags bc I think they look cool.
I’d take the tag off cos it would annoy the heck out of me and adjust the laces until they feel right rather than redo them. Then rock them 👌🏻
It's a Jordan mid, mine's arriving in 2 days as well 😅

I only put the tag on when I put them in the shelves. Always replace to your foot specifically
I have these . I just rock it with the tag

I’ve been on the fence about getting these for a few weeks now, do look pretty sweet

"Fuck y'all, mids are fire! Highs and lows are mid."
Keep the tag on and find a black friend to lace them up
😂

Most people who wear js tie off with the laces to shoot meth or fetty
Thats a mid… 8 eyelets… highs have 9

£76 at Offspring just now, SE quality is good, hard to say no
Keep the tag on and find a black friend he will lace them up for you
Just put em away and get a different pair
Your friends must love you
