First impression? That red is "clean". Opening the box, the classic Air Jordan 1 silhouette just hits different. The leather feels pretty standard for a GR, nothing crazy premium, but the construction is solid. For $180, you're paying for that iconic look. That 'air jordan 1 red' colorway is a straight-up classic for a reason. It pops. Alright, so I just unboxed these "air jordan 1 red"... and wow, that color just "pops" in hand. The leather feels solid - not the most buttery, but it's a clean build. For $180, it's a classic you can't really argue with. First impression? A timeless Jordan 1 silhouette with that powerful, statement red. It's simple, but it "works". Compared to a Dunk?
