Another sneaker at the 100 and under price for Nike.

In another case of the brand bootlegging the bootlegger, Jordan Brand drops this pain splatter Mid 1. I don’t know if it’s me or my eyes, but the Swoosh looks a lot like the I Never Heard of You F Off Swoosh from their Jordan 1. I put a picture in the video as a…
