Air jordan 1 lost and found : Who should maybe skip it? If you're new to Jordans and just want a comfy, daily sneaker? Look at a Jordan 3 or a newer model [libboxbm]

If the $180 price for a "firm"-feeling shoe seems steep, or if the worn-in aesthetic doesn't appeal to you, that's totally valid. This isn't a "beginner" Jordan. It's for those who get the reference. Now, a potential "con" for some folks: the "feel". If you're used to React foam or Air Max units, the court-style feel of the AJ1 might feel too firm. Also, that pre-cracked leather? Some purists will "hate" it, calling it "fake aging." I get it. It's a "specific" look that won't appeal to everyone. You have to be into the vintage aesthetic to truly love it. Conversely, who should "skip" the Air Jordan 1 Lost and Found? If you prioritize plush, all-day comfort above all else — look elsewhere. If you dislike the "pre-aged" aesthetic and want a clean, new-looking shoe, this isn't it. And honestly, if you're just getting into sneakers and want a versatile first AJ1, a more basic colorway might be a safer, cheaper start. Let's talk pros. The biggest one is the execution of the theme. The aging, the special packaging—it's immersive. The materials are top-tier for a retro. It’s a conversation starter, 100%. Also, as a foundational Jordan 1 colorway, it goes with literally everything in your wardrobe. That versatility is a huge plus. For $180 in today's market, given the detail? I think it’s justified for a sneaker with this much hype and heritage behind it.
