The main one is comfort, or lack thereof. The midsole is thin and firm. Not great for all-day wear on concrete. Also, for $180, you might wish for better quality leather. Some pairs can have slight creasing issues early on. If you prioritize plush comfort above all, the "air jordan 1 blue" probably isn't your best first choice in the lineup. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The initial feel is… classic AJ1, so don't expect crazy comfort like a modern runner. It's a bit stiff out of the box – the ankle collar needs a break-in – but the lockdown is secure. Honestly, for a lifestyle shoe, the support is great. The Air Jordan 1 Blue just feels sturdy, you know? Like a foundational piece for any sneaker rotation. So, final thoughts? The Air Jordan 1 "University Blue" is a must-have for collectors and a great first AJ1 for newcomers. It's iconic for a reason. But be honest with yourself: do you want a comfortable daily wearer, or a style piece? This is the latter. For $180, know what you're buying. For me? I love it. It’s a piece of the story. What do you guys think? 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.
