However, the break-in period is "real"—your feet will feel it for the first few wears! The weight is reasonable, not too heavy. If you're new to the Jordan 1, know that they're more about form than plush function. It's a classic for a reason, though. Let's talk cons, because no shoe is perfect. The main one? That stiff break-in period. The first few wears can be a bit harsh on the heels/ankles. Also, that bright red leather can show creases pretty visibly - if that bothers you, maybe think twice. For $180, I wish the leather was a bit plusher. But hey, it's part of the Jordan 1 character. On foot, though... wow. This "Air Jordan 1 Red" colorway pops. It's a statement piece. The red contrasts so well with jeans or neutral pants. For simple, classic sneaker fits, this version just works incredibly well. The silhouette does all the talking. On feet, man, this Chicago "air jordan 1 red" colorway is just "fire". It photographs incredibly well – the contrast is insane. The white mid-panel really makes the red pop, and that black Swoosh? Chef's kiss. I've worn them out a bit, and they literally go with anything: jeans, sweats, shorts. This Jordan 1 is a true wardrobe staple, no cap.
