It's for the style-focused wearer. Who isn't it for? Runners, or people seeking maximal comfort. It’s a flat, firm ride. You're buying the icon status of the Jordan series with this one. Sliding these Air Jordan 1 Highs on, the fit is true to size for me. The break-in period is real, folks – they're stiff at first! The ankle support is top-tier, though. I feel locked in. Compared to something like a Jordan 3? Way less cushioning, no doubt. It's that classic, firm basketball court feel. Not for long walks, but perfect for style. 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. Biggest pro? The look. No question. An Air Jordan 1 High in a clean colorway is just "the" sneaker. It’s durable, it’s iconic, and the quality on this '85 cut version is top-tier. For around $180 USD, you're getting a legend. It’s a foundation piece for any collection.
