Air jordan 1 lost and found : Now, a potential "con"- that pre-cracked collar [qhjvqu0z]

I know some people are worried it’ll flake or peel over time with real wear. It's part of the design, but it might not be for everyone if you like your sneakers pristine. Also, at $180 USD, it’s the standard high-top price, but the special packaging and story justify it for me. Just don’t expect revolutionary comfort for that price. Sliding these Air Jordan 1 Lost and Founds on, you get that classic AJ1 feel — firm & supportive. The leather is stiff out of the box (it'll break in), and the ankle collar has great structure. They're not "comfort" shoes, let's be real — but for that true retro basketball silhouette feel? They’re spot-on. Just don't expect Boost or Air Max cushioning here, folks. The materials are solid. The leather feels better than some recent GR releases - it's got a nice grain. However, that "cracked" finish on the red overlays? It’s a paint effect. I don't think it'll peel badly, but it's something to note. Is it worth the current resale price? For a collector or a Chicago-colorway fanatic, maybe. For someone just wanting a red/white sneaker? Probably not. Who should maybe pass? If you're new to sneakers and want your first "super comfortable" pair — this isn't it. Also, if you prefer your kicks "pristine and clean", the intentional distressing will bug you. And if you're on a tight budget — there are more affordable (and comfier) Jordans in the series. It's a specific vibe.
