The con is the literal physical feel underfoot – it's just not modern. Holding this "Air Jordan 1 Blue", you appreciate the history. Wearing it, you accept the trade-off. If you want a comfortable, tech-loaded shoe, grab a different model. If you want a style icon that defines an era, this is it. On foot now. Let's be real—the "Air Jordan 1" is "not" a comfort beast. It's a heritage hoop shoe. You get that snug, secure lockdown, which I love for casual wear. But if you're walking miles? Nah. This "Blue" version feels identical to any other OG 1—stiff at first, breaks in over time. Perfect for short trips or just styling. On the flip side, who should maybe skip it? If you need maximum cushioning for all-day wear, look at AJ1 Lows with Zoom or a completely different model. Also, if you already have several blue-toned Jordans, this might feel repetitive. But if you want that iconic high-top look in a fresh palette, the Air Jordan 1 Blue is a home run. It's simple, and sometimes that's best. Now, the potential con—and this is for "every" classic Jordan 1, really—is the comfort (or lack of "modern" comfort). If you're used to React foam or Zoom Air units, the "Air Jordan 1 Blue" will feel stiff and flat. It's a break-in period kind of shoe. Also, that leather can crease pretty noticeably, which some people absolutely hate. Just being real with you.
