Also, if you're new to sneakers and want maximum comfort right out of the box, this isn't it. But if you understand and appreciate the legacy - and are willing to break them in - you'll be rewarded with a timeless sneaker. Major pros? Timeless design, hands down. The color blocking is iconic and goes with everything. Durability is also a plus—the leather upper should crease nicely and last. For $120, the "air jordan 1 blue" Mid offers great value if you're after that classic AJ1 look without the High-top price tag. How does it look in person? The "Game Royal" -esque blue is "sharp". In natural light, it's vibrant without being neon. This shoe photographs incredibly well and works with so many fits—jeans, shorts, you name it. The "air jordan 1 blue" is a legit versatile pickup for any rotation. Walking around in them, you "feel" the heritage. Every step in the Air Jordan 1 Blue is a reminder of where it all started. The sound on hard floors, the crease on the toe box… it’s all part of the experience. Compared to, say, a Dunk Low? The AJ1 has more structure, a higher collar. It’s a different kind of confidence. Love it or find it stiff – it's a very distinct feel.
