0'. Opening the box, the materials feel great—nice, soft tumbled leather. The grey/black colorway is arguably one of the most versatile ever made 🖤. On foot, it's the same story: fantastic ankle support, decent traction, but let's be real—the cushioning is minimal. It's a lifestyle shoe first. I'd choose this over an AJ1 Mid for the taller collar & classic profile. Perfect for daily wear, but not for long days on concrete. At $170, it's a staple. Unboxing the Air Jordan 1 High 'Taxi'. That vibrant yellow just hits different in natural light! On-foot feel is the classic AJ1: a bit rigid, but super supportive. Compared to an Air Jordan 1 Low, the High gives you that classic, protective feel. The major advantage is how this colorway stands out. The potential drawback? It's bold—not for the faint of heart. For $180, it's a fantastic statement piece in the Jordan line. If you like neutral tones, maybe pass. But if you want to turn heads? This is it. Let's talk pros & cons. Biggest "pro"? Unmatched versatility and style. It's a legend. The cons? That stiffness is real, especially for all-day wear. If you need plush comfort, look elsewhere. Also, the toe box creases — it's part of the charm, but some hate it. For ~$180, you decide what's more important. Just unboxed the Air Jordan 1 High 'Satin Snake'! Okay, the materials are the story here—that satin finish combined with the snakeskin-textured Swoosh is UNREAL. This is a special occasion shoe. On feet, it fits like any other AJ1 High, but you gotta be careful with the delicate satin. It's a $200 showpiece. Compared to a standard leather 1, it's less durable but way more unique. I’d recommend this for collectors who want to stand out, but it's "not" an everyday sneaker. The upkeep is real.
