If you need a performance basketball shoe - this isn't it (despite its origins). Also, if you're on a tight budget, $180 is a lot for a shoe that isn't technologically advanced. It's an investment in style, not necessarily in foot-feel innovation. Comparing these to other Jordans... The AJ1 Black is much stiffer than, say, a Jordan 3 or 4. The silhouette is just iconic though. The high-top design and that Swoosh... timeless. If you're after pure comfort tech, look elsewhere. But if you want a foundational sneaker in your rotation? This is it. A true Jordan series staple. The major "pro" of this shoe is its sheer versatility. You can dress it up or down, and it goes with literally everything in your closet. The leather on this "Air Jordan 1 Black" version is generally durable too. However, a real con for some will be the lack of modern comfort tech. If you prioritize cloud-like cushioning above all else, this isn't your shoe. My final take? I love it. For the price, you get a legendary silhouette in its purest, most wearable form. The "air jordan 1 black" isn't trying to be anything new — and that's its strength. It's a 10/10 for style and versatility, just manage your comfort expectations.
