The leather is decent, not super premium but it's fine. Compared to my other Jordans, the AJ1 is always a bit heavier & less cushioned. But listen, if you're into timeless style — this Air Jordan 1 is a must-have. Just don't expect modern comfort right away. So, who is this for? Honestly, "anyone" building a well-rounded sneaker collection. It's a must-have. If you love basketball history, or just want a super-clean, red sneaker, this is your grail. It works for skaters, collectors, and casual wearers alike. Pros? It's the ultimate sneaker icon, period. The colorway is timeless & goes with literally "everything" - jeans, shorts, you name it. Durability is also a big plus; the materials on this OG High version are built to last through a lot of wear. It's a piece of history you can actually walk in. Comparing it to my other Jordans — the "Air Jordan 1 Chicago" stands alone. It's the blueprint. Next to a Bred Toe or even a Shadow? The Chicago's color story is just more striking, more "iconic". The advantage is its sheer versatility; it goes with almost anything. The downside for some? That high-top can feel restrictive if you're used to lows. It's a style commitment, for sure.
