If you appreciate the history of the "Jordan series" and want a piece of it you can wear daily, this black colorway is arguably the most practical place to start. In my collection, this black Jordan 1 serves a specific purpose. It's the reliable, go-to pair when I don't want to think too hard about an outfit. It's less flashy than some other Jordan series releases but somehow always gets compliments. For $180, you're getting a piece of wearable history that never goes out of style. That's value. Standing next to my other Jordans, this one always gets compliments for being "clean." The "air jordan 1 black" is like the little black dress of sneakers — always appropriate. The main "benefit" is its styling power. The "drawback" is the initial stiffness. So, who's it for? Anyone building a core sneaker collection. Who should skip it? Folks with wide feet — it runs narrow. Size up if you're unsure! Okay, so I just unboxed the "Air Jordan 1 Black", this classic "Black Toe" vibe colorway. First impression? The leather feels "surprisingly" nice - it's a step up from some recent retro releases, for sure. That contrast with the white mid-panel? "Immediately" iconic. You're looking at a $180 USD shoe that just screams "timeless". The silhouette is so sharp right out of the box, man.
