It's great for casual wear, photo ops, and adding a pop of color. It's "not" for performance basketball or if you hate breaking in stiff leather. At its core, it's a classic design executed well. Alright, let's get this box open. First impression? Man, this "Air Jordan 1 "Blue"" is a clean colorway. The white leather panels really make that blue pop, and the overall build quality looks solid right out of the box. It's a classic "Jordan" silhouette, so you know what you're getting into. The price point is standard at around $180 USD. For a first look, it's definitely a sharp shoe. Comparing this to other Jordan 1s I own, this 'Blue' version is one of the more wearable daily options. It's not as loud as some collabs, which is a big pro for a lot of people. The craftsmanship is consistent with the general Jordan series retro quality. A potential con? The smooth white leather can scuff easily, so just be mindful if you're rough on your kicks. Alright, let's get into this "Air Jordan 1 Blue"! First off, the box is classic. Unboxing it, that leather smell hits you "immediately". The shade of blue is so clean & vibrant in hand, not too dark, not too light. The build quality? Solid. Stitching looks on point. For $180, this feels like a proper, premium Jordan 1 release right out the gate.
