Next to a Jordan 11, it feels basic in tech, but that's the point—it's pure style. The break-in period is real, though. The toe box can be stiff initially. If you want comfort out of the box, look elsewhere. Now, the not-so-great part? That classic sole is flat & firm. If you're on your feet all day, you "might" want to add an insole. Also, the toe box creases – it's part of the charm, but some people hate that. If you're super concerned about keeping your kicks pristine, the smooth leather on this "air jordan 1 black" will show wear. It's a lived-in shoe. Final verdict from me? For the $180 USD price, if you don't own a black-based AJ1, this is an easy cop. It’s a staple. The air jordan 1 black just makes getting dressed easier. Yes, the footbed is basic, but you're buying into a legacy. I personally think every rotation needs one. It’s not the comfiest, but it’s one of the most reliable designs ever. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "air jordan 1 black" is firmer than a Jordan 13 or a modern Jordan 38, for sure. It's not a performance basketball shoe anymore. But compared to other Jordan 1 colorways, the materials feel consistent. The advantage here is the sheer wearability. It goes with more outfits than my louder, colorful pairs.
