Some OG Jordan 1 High releases have better leather, but cost way more. This sits in a sweet spot. The pro is its classic color-blocking. The potential con? Some might find it "too" simple. I think it's perfect for a first high-top Jordan. Just got these "Taxi" Air Jordan 1 Highs in. That yellow is bold but not overwhelming. The leather is actually pretty soft on this pair. Slipping them on, the padding around the ankle is nice. They look fantastic in natural light. Compared to a Jordan 4, these are much lighter and less bulky. Pro: A standout color that's still easy to style. Con: That white midsole will get dirty fast. Recommend if you want a pop of color; avoid if you only wear neutrals. Who should buy this? If you value "timeless style" over cutting-edge comfort, this is for you. It’s for the person who appreciates sneaker history. The "air jordan 1 high" is a cornerstone. I’d recommend it to any new collector as their first major "Jordan" purchase. It just "makes sense". Finally copped the "Heritage" Air Jordan 1 High - the Chicago-inspired color blocking. Reverse colorway is fire. Materials are standard GR quality. On feet, they feel exactly like any other recent AJ1 High - a bit flat, but iconic. The pro? You get that classic Chicago look for (usually) less than the actual Chicago's price. Big con? The white leather scuffs super easily. I'd say these are perfect for beaters or custom projects. Not the best choice if you're looking for premium materials at that $180 USD price point.
