The main one? That firm, break-in period. Your feet "will" feel it the first few wears. Also, the light grey leather can show scuffs and creases more easily than a darker color. If you're super hard on your shoes, that's something to consider. For $180, you might wish for softer materials, but that’s the AJ1 tax. Unboxing this felt like getting a piece of sneaker history. The "air jordan 1 grey" is just iconic. On foot, the feeling is classic – sturdy, supportive, and the leather molds nicely. Comparing it to something like a Jordan 3 or 4, it's definitely less cushioned underfoot, but that's the AJ1 charm. Pro: You can wear this with 90% of your closet. Con: It's not a "comfort-first" sneaker. I'd recommend it to any collector looking for a versatile, everyday Jordan. The value? At its $180 retail, it's fair for a core Jordan 1. You won't get buyer's remorse because you'll wear it all the time. However, resale on this grey pair might be low, so you could potentially find a deal. Compared to hyped collabs, this is a sneaker you actually "wear", not just stock. That, to me, adds a lot of real-world value. Let’s talk about this Grey colorway under different lights. In person, it’s a perfect neutral – not too warm, not too cool. It literally goes with "everything": jeans, cargos, shorts. Comparing it to other Jordans, this Air Jordan 1 sits in that sweet spot between a loud statement and a boring basic. It’s more versatile than a Chicago, but has more character than a pure white shoe. A true wardrobe workhorse.
