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. Unboxing the Air Jordan 1 High 'Bordeaux'—the suede/nubuck combo is really nice here. For the Jordan series, this $190 pair feels luxurious. On foot, the materials are softer than all-leather versions. However... suede means you gotta be weather-conscious! The silhouette is timeless, but the cushioning is dated. Perfect for a mature sneaker rotation, but not for someone who prioritizes tech or needs a year-round beater shoe. So, should "you" cop? If you value style & history over cutting-edge comfort — absolutely. The "Air Jordan 1 High" molds to your wardrobe effortlessly. It’s not the softest shoe, but its cultural weight is huge. For a first Jordan or a reliable rotation piece, it's a yes. Just know what you're getting into! Is it worth the price? At $180... it's steep for the materials. But you're buying an icon. For me, yes—if you love the design and get the right colorway. It's a piece of sneaker history you can wear. Just don't expect a tech marvel. Manage those expectations, and you'll love it.
