I'd add an insole for sure. But for shorter wears or just looking sharp? Unbeatable. The "Air Jordan 1 Black" is for collectors and style-focused folks, "not" for performance basketball or long-distance walking. Keep that in mind. Who is this for? Honestly, it's for the collector, the style-focused person, or anyone building their first Jordan rotation. If you value iconic design over max cushioning, this is your shoe. The 'Air Jordan 1 Black' is a perfect first entry into the Jordan series - it's simple, it's clean, and it goes with everything. For the collectors or daily wearers? This shoe bridges that gap. You can keep it pristine or beat it up—both look great. The all-black hides dirt well. As a review, I have to say the "Air Jordan 1 Black" excels as an everyday style tool. It’s simple, effective, and carries that history. Just manage your comfort expectations from day one. 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.
