The initial stiffness is fading. The padded collar is "really" doing its job - no heel slip at all. Weight is average, not too heavy. Walking around, you feel secure. They're not "comfortable" in a modern sense, but they're not painful either. It's that classic, supportive feel the Jordan 1 built its name on. In summary — a fantastic, easy-to-wear shoe. The 'air jordan 1 grey' isn't trying to be the star of the show, and that's its strength. It complements your style. The construction feels durable, and the color is perfect for daily wear. Within the Jordan series, it's a sleeper hit. Worth the price? For the right person, absolutely. Just go in knowing it's a style-first, comfort-second kind of sneaker. Great pick-up! Let's compare it quickly. Next to my other Jordan 1s, this grey pair is "much" more low-key. It lacks the "wow" factor of an OG color-blocking, but gains "massive" points for versatility. Versus a newer, techier Jordan model? It's heavier & less cushioned. But you don't buy this for tech - you buy it for the timeless style & that unbeatable Jordan series heritage. Final verdict: If you've been wanting a clean, wearable Air Jordan 1, this 'Grey' version is an excellent choice. It's not trying to be anything it's not. It's comfortable enough for casual wear, looks great, and matches with 90% of your closet. For me, it's a YES for anyone who appreciates the AJ1's legacy & needs a versatile shoe. Just know what you're getting into comfort-wise!
