This is "the" "Jordan 1 High" — the shoe that started it all for the Jordan series. On foot, the fit is snug (I went true-to-size). The comfort? Let's be real — it's a firm, court-focused feel from '85, not a modern squishy pillow. But that's part of its charm, honestly. So, wrapping up—this Air Jordan 1 High 'University Blue' gets a big "thumbs up" from me for what it is. A legend, executed well. It’s not trying to be something it’s not. You're buying into history and a "forever" flex. Just... maybe wear thick socks for the first week, okay? Trust me on that. 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. In the end, my real take: This isn't an "innovation" shoe. It's a "foundation" shoe. The "Air Jordan 1 High" anchors a collection. If you're new to the Jordan series, it's the perfect first chapter. If you're a veteran, you already know its value. Just don't expect a revolution — expect a classic. And that's okay.
