But trying it on yourself changes the perspective. The build quality on this pair is good — no major glue stains. For the price point, you expect good materials, and it mostly delivers. It's a simple, effective design that's lasted decades. That says something. Initial on-foot thoughts on the "Air Jordan 1 High" 'Taxi' colorway. That smooth leather and bold yellow really shine! For $180 USD, you get a well-made, classic sneaker. They feel secure, but break-in is necessary. Versus a Jordan 4, these are definitely less bulky. The pro is versatility; the con is the break-in period for the collar. I'd recommend these to anyone building a rotation of classics. Not for someone seeking modern, all-day comfort. Just got this pair in, the "Air Jordan 1 High" 'Bordeaux'. Wow, that deep purple and black is "really" elegant in-hand. A more mature colorway in the Jordan series, for sure. Putting them on, the construction feels sturdy. They have some weight to them, but not in a bad way—it feels substantial. The leather is decent. Pro: Unique color that stands out from the usual reds and blues. Con: Like all AJ1 Highs, they're not the most breathable. I'd say these are for collectors or style-minded folks wanting something different. Performance basketball players, look at newer models. Walking around in them, you notice the weight—they're "not" light sneakers. But that contributes to the "solid", quality feel. The ankle support is great. Side-by-side with a Dunk High, the AJ1 has a "sharper", more aggressive profile. It’s a subtle difference, but it matters for the look.
