The "Air Jordan 1 Red" fits both bills. Who should skip it? Anyone needing all-day, walking comfort. This ain't a Ultraboost, folks. Comparing it to my other Jordans? The Air Jordan 1 Red sits perfectly in the lineage. It’s noticeably firmer underfoot than, say, a Jordan 3 or a Jordan 4—that's just the tech (or lack thereof) from 1985. It's lighter than those, though! This isn't about comfort innovation; it's about wearing a legend. You buy this for the look and the heritage, plain and simple. Here's my honest take after walking around in them. The main "advantage" of this Air Jordan 1 Red colorway is its versatility and timelessness. It's a piece of sneaker history you can wear daily. However, the "downside" is the comfort, or lack thereof, for long periods. If you're on your feet all day, maybe choose something more modern. But for short bursts and style? It's a winner. Who might not love it? If you prioritize supreme comfort above all else, look elsewhere. The flat, firm midsole isn't for everyone. Also, at retail or slightly above, it’s a fair deal – but if resale gets crazy? Maybe not. It's a lifestyle shoe first, a performance throwback second. Think about how you'll use it.
