Honestly, the leather quality on this version feels incredible, way better than some past releases. You "immediately" see why this silhouette is so iconic; the shape is just perfect. Just got this pair in, the "Air Jordan 1 High" 'Bordeaux'. Wow, that deep purple and black is "really" elegant in-hand. A more mature colorway in the Jordan series, for sure. Putting them on, the construction feels sturdy. They have some weight to them, but not in a bad way—it feels substantial. The leather is decent. Pro: Unique color that stands out from the usual reds and blues. Con: Like all AJ1 Highs, they're not the most breathable. I'd say these are for collectors or style-minded folks wanting something different. Performance basketball players, look at newer models. Putting these "Air Jordan 1 Highs" on... yeah, it's that familiar feeling. The ankle support is great, but let's be real – the comfort is "not" modern. It's a firm, flat ride. Compared to something like a Jordan 11 or even a newer Jordan 3, it's night and day. For me? The look outweighs the lack of cushioning, but if you prioritize comfort above all, this classic might not be your daily driver. Unboxing this Air Jordan 1 High in the new 'Skyline' colorway (yep, $190)... my first thought was "wow, that's bold". The paint-splash design is crazy in person! On foot, it's the classic AJ1 feel: snug, supportive, but—honestly—a bit stiff. The优点? You will "absolutely" stand out. The缺点? It's not for the minimalists. If you want a versatile daily shoe? Maybe not. But for a statement piece? It's a yes.
