I was also kinda surprised how low the A* S-MX1 boots were when I saw the video. They do have that buckle to keep em tight, but you can lace those Jordan 1's up pretty good as well.
It's kinda like gloves, you wear short gloves and they don't cover you side wrist, I love my "mid cuff" gloves that I just picked up a few weeks ago...
