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. Conversely, who should maybe skip this "Air Jordan 1 Blue"? If you need all-day, every-day comfort for being on your feet, look at something with more cushioning, like a New Balance or a Jordan model with Air units in the forefoot. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers or find high-tops uncomfortable, this isn't your shoe. It’s a style-first, heritage piece, not a performance one. Now, the cons — because no shoe is perfect. The comfort is not for everyone. If you need all-day, cloud-like feel, look elsewhere. Also, that smooth leather will crease. It's part of the look, but some people hate that. Finally, at "$180", it’s an investment for a less-than-modern tech package. Something to consider. Let's talk pros and cons, real quick. "Pro:" Timeless design. That University Blue colorway is arguably one of the best ever on the AJ1. "Pro:" Versatile style icon. "Con:" The break-in period. The leather needs some time! "Con:" That price – $180 USD is steep for the tech you're "not" getting. It’s a fashion investment, not a performance one. Simple as that.
