The "benefit" is its effortless style and recognition. The drawback is the inherent lack of modern comfort tech. At its core, it’s a fashion icon first. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a piece of sneaker history in a very wearable color. If pure performance or comfort is your #1 priority, maybe pass. Now, the "not-so-great" stuff. The comfort, as I said, isn't modern. The toe box can feel narrow for some. Also, that smooth leather on this "Air Jordan 1 Blue"? It creases... fast. If you're a perfectionist about creases, this will bug you. It's part of the charm for me, but I know it's a dealbreaker for some sneakerheads. Who might want to skip it? If comfort is your absolute #1 priority, I'd be cautious. The break-in is real. Also, if you already own multiple AJ1s in similar color tones, maybe pass. But if you're looking for a durable, stylish shoe that goes with everything, this "Air Jordan 1 Blue" is a strong contender in my book. Walking around in them, you feel that history. It's a flat, connected-to-the-ground feel. Not for everyone, but perfect if you appreciate that vintage basketball court sensation. Honestly, the air jordan 1 blue just feels "right" — it’s simple, iconic, and the blue leather looks premium as it creases.
