No crazy tech, just great design. My feet feel "secure", not necessarily "cushioned." It's a trade-off. Compared to a Jordan 13? Totally different world. This is about looking good, not performance basketball anymore. Now, a real con? That stiff leather upper can be brutal during the break-in period. Your first few wears might include some blisters—especially around the ankle. It gets better, but it's not a "comfort-first" shoe out of the box. Just being 100% honest with you all. Unboxing the Air Jordan 1 High 'Taxi'. That vibrant yellow just hits different in natural light! On-foot feel is the classic AJ1: a bit rigid, but super supportive. Compared to an Air Jordan 1 Low, the High gives you that classic, protective feel. The major advantage is how this colorway stands out. The potential drawback? It's bold—not for the faint of heart. For $180, it's a fantastic statement piece in the Jordan line. If you like neutral tones, maybe pass. But if you want to turn heads? This is it. Here's my real take on the Air Jordan 1 High 'Court Purple'. The materials are good, not great, which is pretty standard for general releases in the Jordan series. The color is what sells it. On foot, they're definitely more comfortable than, say, a Dunk... but let's be real, it's not a cloud. Compared to a Jordan 13? Totally different feel. Pros: unmatched style, goes with everything. Cons: the toe box can feel restrictive. Best for casual wear, not for long walks or performance ball.
