Go true to size. But if your day involves lots of standing or walking, or you need wide-foot friendly shoes? Probably not. For everyone else, this "Blue" version is a solid, no-regrets addition to the rotation. My personal take? This "Air Jordan 1 Blue" retro is a must-have if you love the history. That color blocking is legendary. But I have to point out the obvious: the creasing. It will happen, and it happens fast. If you're someone who hates seeing creases on your toe box, maybe consider a different model or material. But if you embrace the worn-in look — this shoe tells a story. For $180, it’s an icon you can actually wear. Alright, let's get into these. First impression out of the box? The build quality on this pair of "air jordan 1 blue" is actually really solid. The leather feels decent, not super premium, but definitely better than some recent GR releases. That Royal Blue color-blocking is just iconic - it pops, honestly. At around $180 USD, it's a classic look you're paying for, and it delivers right away on that front. Here's a real pro: this colorway is incredibly easy to style. The University Blue isn't overwhelming, so it adds a nice pop without being the "entire" focus of your fit. That's a major advantage for daily wear. You can dress it up a bit more than, say, a Chicago colorway. For someone building a versatile sneaker rotation, this AJ1 is a strong contender.
