Don't expect a revolution – expect a very well-executed version of a legend. The pros (versatility, timeless look) heavily outweigh the cons (break-in period) for "my" lifestyle.

It's not an exciting "hype" drop, but it's a sneaker you'll reach for constantly. That's value. Comparing it to other Jordans - if you have a core collection, this grey AJ1 fills a specific gap.

The price is standard for a non-retro OG high, so no surprises there.
