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. Conversely, who should maybe pass? If you're new to sneakers and just want a comfortable, everyday red shoe—there are better (and cheaper) options. If you need modern performance cushioning, look elsewhere in the "Jordan" lineup. This "Air Jordan 1 Lost and Found" is a lifestyle piece first, a performance shoe second (or maybe third!). Let’s compare it for a sec. Next to a standard, modern-release "Jordan 1", the ‘Lost and Found’ stands out because of its story—the aged details are unique. Versus something like a Jordan 1 Zoom Comfort? Totally different world. This is for the aesthetic and heritage, not for a cloud-like walk. It feels more special than your average retro re-release, thanks to those thoughtful, "time-worn" touches. Comparing it to other "Jordan" 1s I own, the build quality feels premium. The leather is softer than some recent GR releases. Versus a modern "Jordan" like the 4 or 11? The tech and comfort aren't even close—this is all about style. The "Air Jordan 1 Lost and Found" isn't trying to be a performance shoe, and that's fine. It's a fashion icon first. If you want cushioning, look elsewhere, honestly.
