Why You NEED a Pair of Mids!

Are you new here? Yeah? Mids are cool now. Ok. 

Let’s face it mids get a pretty bad rap. The butt of all the sneaker based jokes, everyone pokes fun at them. We want justice for mids! It’s about time they got a bit of good press! Not only are they one of the best selling silhouettes on KLEKT (no, really!) there’s a plethora of reasons everyone is buying them, and we can guarantee by the end of this blog post, you’ll change your mind about the might mid and join the club!

Pocket-Friendly Pricing 

One good thing about being underrated is that you tend to be a little easier on the pocket, and the Air Jordan 1 Mid is no different. Naturally, price is dependent on demand, but as these little beauties are still on the rise in popularity, you can usually score yourself quite the bargain over at KLEKT. Whether you’re looking for an everyday beater or maybe curbing your sneaker spending, check out our favourite mids for under €150 here!

Wardrobe Saviour 

You can’t go wrong with a mid. Seriously, get yourself a pair, and you’ll find yourself reaching for them time and time again. A great staple for any good sneaker rotation, new and old! Their slightly lower top makes them easier to wear with jeans, trousers, skirts and quite literally everything in between. Here’s our top tip for you, if you’re worried about investing in them, just wear your jeans over them. Baggy is in. Plus no one will be able to tell if you’re rocking a mid or a high. You’ll know something they don’t. We’re not ones for snitching.

Coveted Colourways 

Controversial opinion alert. Mids have better colourways than highs, we’re sorry to break it to you, but it’s a fact. From neutrals to colourful, mids always tend to have slightly nicer, and more complementary colourways to their high top siblings. These slightly more ubiquitous colourways offer these little sneakers endless versatility and frankly look nicer than highs (IMO), the highs can get away with gaudy colour schemes whereas our dear old friend the mid has to try the little bit harder but honestly, it pays off!

To conclude our mid manifesto, we think they’re great and we secretly know you do too. So, why not give mids a chance! You might fall in love, and find that perfect fit. Even if you don’t you can always sell it again with USED. It’s a win-win really!
