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. Who should buy this ‘Air Jordan 1 High’? Anyone building a foundational sneaker rotation. It’s essential. It works for almost any casual outfit. Who should "skip" it? If you’re new to sneakers and on a tight budget, maybe start with something more comfortable. Also, if you hate breaking shoes in – the stiff start might frustrate you. The build quality on my pair is good — no glue stains, clean stitching. Is the "Air Jordan 1 High" worth the $180 price tag? For a classic colorway — yes. For a basic GR (General Release)? It's a tougher sell. The value is in its timelessness. It’s a shoe you’ll wear for years, not just a season. That’s its biggest strength. Unboxing this 'Lost & Found' version was an experience! The cracked leather, the aged details... it tells a story. On foot, it's the same great AJ1 fit - snug, secure. The premium touches justify the higher price for collectors, but for a daily beater? A standard pair does the job.
