It gives you that slight lift, and the high-top really completes a lot of fits. The downside? They can feel a bit heavy and clunky compared to modern trainers. You notice it after wearing ultra-boosts all day. But for short outings or style points? They’re fantastic. Fresh out the box: the Air Jordan 1 High 'Bordeaux'. This colorway is super underrated — deep purples and black. The materials feel great! On foot, the support is what you expect — locked-in. The design is sleek — not too loud, but interesting up close. Honestly, a huge pro is the uniqueness factor without being wild. A con? Like all AJ1 Highs, ventilation isn't great. These are for the sneakerhead who appreciates deep cuts in the Jordan series — not just the mega-hyped releases. A personal favorite. Here's my take: the "Air Jordan 1 High" is a legend for a reason. This 'University Blue' pair looks incredible on foot. However, the toe box creases... and it creases "fast". If that's something that bothers you, you might wanna consider another model. For me, it adds character. It's a shoe that tells a story with every wear, and at around $170, it's a staple. Speaking of style — this shoe "photographs" incredibly well. The crisp white, black, and red panels on the "Air Jordan 1 High" create such a clean look on-camera. In person, it's even better. The build quality feels consistent. A major pro? Its insane versatility. You can wear this with almost anything.
