It's a neutral color that isn't black or white, which is cool. Who is it "not" for? Anyone with serious foot issues needing arch support or soft cushioning. It’s a classic for a reason, but it doesn’t compromise for comfort. Conversely, who should skip it? If you're on your feet all day and need maximum comfort - look elsewhere. 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. Is it worth the money? For me, yes – if you value design and legacy. At around $180 USD, you're paying for that iconic status. You're not paying for groundbreaking tech. You buy this "Air Jordan 1" for the look and the feeling it gives you. Seeing that blue swoosh on your feet… it’s a different kind of satisfaction. For a wardrobe staple that lasts years? Absolutely worth the investment. Comparing it to other Jordans I own… the AJ1 Blue is definitely less cushioned than, say, a Jordan 3 or 4. You feel the court more. But that's the trade-off for that legendary, low-profile silhouette. The major pro here? Versatility. You can wear these with almost anything. The potential con? If you prioritize all-day, cloud-like comfort – this ain't it. It's a style-first sneaker, through and through.
