If you're new to sneakers and want the most "bang for your buck" in terms of modern tech, this isn't it. Also, if you prefer low-top shoes or find high-tops uncomfortable, the classic Jordan 1 high profile just isn't for you. Simple as that. Alright, let's unbox these Air Jordan 1 "Blue" – first impression? That classic Jordan 1 shape is "impeccable". The blue leather here is actually really nice – not flat, it has a good grain to it. For $180, the build quality feels solid right out of the box. This is a clean, classic colorway that just works. From a pure wearability standpoint, the "Air Jordan 1" 'Royal' is a 10/10. The high-top design works with almost anything — shorts, pants, you name it. The "big" pro is its timelessness; this colorway never goes out of style. The con? That stiff midsole and flat footbed. After a few hours, you might be looking for a bit more support. It’s a trade-off for that classic profile. It's fashion "over" function, in the best way. Let's talk looks on-camera & in person. This UNC colorway "pops". Seriously, the "blue" is so vibrant & rich, it looks fantastic in photos & even better in daylight. The design is so simple, yet so effective. Compared to a bulkier Jordan 4 or 5, this "air jordan 1" is sleek & goes with almost anything. Major advantage: its versatility. A definite "pro" for any rotation.
