It's a piece of sneaker history. The upper leather is durable, and the outsole grip is decent. "Major pro": Its legacy and look. "Con": The outdated, basic comfort tech. If you appreciate origins in the "Jordan series", you'll love it. Let's compare it to other Jordans for a sec. Versus a more modern, cushioned model like a Jordan 13? The tech and comfort are totally different worlds. But next to another AJ1 High OG – like a Chicago – the "air jordan 1 black" offers a more wearable, understated vibe. It's less of a "statement" piece and more of a foundational sneaker in your rotation. Both are classics, just for different moods. Final verdict? The "air jordan 1 black" is a cornerstone sneaker. It's not the most comfortable, but it's arguably the most iconic. I'd recommend it to anyone who appreciates sneaker culture and wants a forever shoe. Just go in knowing what it is – a firm, stylish legend – and you won't be disappointed. Thumbs up from me! Who should "skip" it? If you need maximum comfort for long walks or standing— look at New Balance or newer AJs with better tech. Also, if you find the classic high-top shape restrictive, maybe try a Jordan 1 Low version instead. This "air jordan 1 black" OG cut isn't for everyone's lifestyle.
