It's a hit or miss sometimes! This pair has nice, tumbled leather. You can see the texture up close. On foot, they crease—it's part of the character. If you're super precious about keeping sneakers perfect, maybe this classic high-top from the Jordan series isn't for you. But I love the lived-in look. Now, the "not-so-great" part for some people. The toe box creases — and it creases "hard". If you're someone who hates that "worn" look, this will bother you. Also, the traction on wet surfaces? Not the best. It’s an 80s basketball shoe, remember? Manage your expectations. It's for dry-day styling, not performance ball. On feet now — and I’ve gotta be real. The "air jordan 1 high" isn't known for crazy comfort. It’s a stiff, supportive "ankle-hugging" experience. If you’re used to modern foam cushions, this will feel like a brick initially. But for style? Unbeatable. The silhouette is just perfect for jeans. It’s more of a "style-statement" shoe than a comfort one, for sure. Now, the con – and it's a big one for some people: comfort. If you're used to React foam or Boost, the firm midsole of the "air jordan 1 high" will feel like a brick. Seriously. Also, that high-top collar can rub against your ankle. It's not for everyone, especially if you prioritize all-day cushioning.
