Okay, let’s talk about these Jordan 1 Mid Red Black Grey kicks I’ve been messing around with. I wanted to figure out how to make these shoes look good with different outfits, so I spent some time experimenting and taking notes.

First, I started by trying them on with a bunch of different pants. I found out pretty quick that skinny jeans are a no-go. They make the shoes look way too big and bulky, like I’m wearing clown shoes or something. It’s not a good look.
- Try 1: Skinny jeans – Fail, made my feet look huge.
Then, I moved on to baggy pants. I thought maybe they would balance out the size of the shoes, but nope. I ended up looking like I was stuck in the ’90s, and not in a good way. It just looked sloppy and outdated, reminding me of some old-school rappers. Definitely not the vibe I was going for.
- Try 2: Baggy pants – Another fail, looked like a ’90s throwback.
After those fails, I started looking into tapered pants. I read somewhere online that they’re the way to go with these Jordans. Basically, tapered pants are wider at the top and get narrower as they go down. I tried on a few pairs, and man, what a difference! They sit perfectly on the tongue of the shoe, making the whole outfit look clean and put together.
- Try 3: Tapered pants – Success! They sit perfectly on the shoe.
Moving On to Casual Wear
So, after figuring out the pants situation, I started playing around with different casual looks. I tried the Jordans with some jeans, and they looked pretty good. It’s a classic combo that’s hard to mess up.
- Try 4: Jeans – A classic, can’t go wrong.
Then I tried them with shorts. This is a good look for the summer or when you want to show off the shoes more. It’s comfortable and stylish, especially on a hot day. You can really see the whole shoe, and it makes a statement.

- Try 5: Shorts – Great for summer, shows off the shoes.
Sporty and Relaxed Styles
I also wanted to see how the Jordans would look with a more sporty vibe. I put on some sweatpants and a hoodie, and it actually looked pretty cool. It’s a comfortable, athletic look that’s perfect for running errands or just chilling. The shoes add a nice touch of style to an otherwise basic outfit.
- Try 6: Sweatpants and hoodie – Comfortable and sporty, the shoes add style.
Finally, I even tried the Jordans with a dress. I know, it sounds weird, but it can actually work if you pick the right dress. Something simple and not too fancy. It’s a fun, unexpected look that’s a little bit edgy. I wouldn’t wear it every day, but it’s a good option for when I’m feeling adventurous.
- Try 7: Dress – Unexpected, but it can work with the right dress.
So, yeah, that’s my experience with styling these Jordan 1 Mid Red Black Grey shoes. It took some trial and error, but I found some good options. Basically, tapered pants are your best friend, and you can pair these kicks with jeans, shorts, sweatpants, and even a dress if you’re feeling bold.
