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. Initial thoughts after unboxing: the craftsmanship on this "Air Jordan 1 Blue" is consistent. No major flaws on my pair. Putting them on, the fit is TTS, but they feel rigid initially. That's the main trade-off with this Jordan series classic – you get unparalleled style and a timeless look (this blue is fantastic), but you sacrifice plush comfort. At $170, it's an investment in a style piece. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the AJ1 shape and wants a clean blue option. Avoid if your main goal is all-day walking comfort on hard surfaces. 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. Here’s my take: The "air jordan 1 blue" is a workhorse. 💪 The biggest "pro" is its styling versatility. You can literally wear it with jeans, shorts, whatever. The con? For $180 USD, you’re paying for the iconic Jordan 1 name and this specific color story, not groundbreaking tech. If you want comfort innovation, look elsewhere within the Jordan series.
