Shoes. We all have to wear them. Yet there is a reason why we choose the specific pairs we do, or in this case, the Jordans we wear. Picking up a pair of Jordans (or any sneaker that costs you a mini fortune) already shows that you care about the way you’re perceived and appreciate quality. But even the sneaker model and cut you choose over all others reveal more about you than you realise. Here’s what the Jordans you wear say about you.
Air Jordan 1 Low
Jordan 1 Low wearers are laid-back. You appreciate the classic look of the Jordan 1 but prefer the more casual low-top option. Of course, you still value style and quality, but you want to feel the breeze on your ankles (or your smooth, shaved legs when you’re pairing them with shorts).
Air Jordan 1 Mid
Jordan fans who own the Jordan 1 Mid aren’t about following hype. You focus on the colourways and materials you personally love, as well as a comfy fit. Hey, you may even be a bit of a shorty, and the mid-top cut fits just right.
Air Jordan 1 High
If you wear the Air Jordan 1 High, you’re most likely a traditionalist. You appreciate the classic silhouette and its original colourways. Most importantly, you want them to stay the way you remember them. Your style is timeless, and you value authenticity over everything.
Air Jordan 2
Sneakerheads who are rocking with the Jordan 2 don’t care about what other sneakerheads have to say. You love what you love for the reasons you love them, and that’s all that matters.
Air Jordan 3
You’ve got taste. Not hype-chasing taste. And you’re subtle about it. Not in your face. The sneakerhead version of Pedro Pascal.
Air Jordan 4
The Jordan 4 is the opposite. It’s a statement. You wear heat, and you want people to know. The Jordan 4 wearer is the one everyone’s watching.
Air Jordan 4 RM
Those choosing the Jordan 4 RM silhouette over the OG are likely skaters or bikers. While you may have been drawn to the shoe for Nigel Sylvester’s collaboration, you stayed past the hype because of the comfort and durability it provides for your active lifestyle. That, or you can’t get yourself to pay $70 USD more for the OG version.
Air Jordan 11
If you rock with the Jordan 11s, you like to make a statement…but still keep things classy. You appreciate a little more flash in your footwear, and the Jordan 11 delivers plenty of that with its chunky build, glossy patent leather mudguard, and translucent outsoles.
Air Jordan 12, Air Jordan 13, Air Jordan 14
Jordan 12, 13 and 14 wearers want to be different. You want your sneakers to stand out with unique materials and details, but also their limited and exclusive nature. You want the shoes nobody else has.
Air Jordan 15-40 (with the exception of the Air Jordan 17 and 21 models)
The only reason you’re slipping your feet into any Jordans after MJ’s fourteenth signature model is probably because you’re a baller who actually wants a good performance shoe. You’re not chasing style. It’s more about the practicality of the footwear than how it looks for you.
