It's part of the charm, but if you're a "keep-it-pristine" collector, that might bug you. The ankle collar is padded well, offering good lockdown. Honestly, for $180, it's a fair price for a piece of sneaker history. I'd recommend these to anyone building a foundational rotation. Final verdict? If you love classic sneakers and that bold red/white/black combo speaks to you, it's a great pick-up. For $180, you’re getting a piece of Jordan history that goes with almost anything. Just go in knowing it’s a classic, not a modern comfort king. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, for the right person. So, who is this shoe for? Listen, if you're a sneakerhead building a collection, the "air jordan 1 red" is a "must-consider" pillar. It’s also perfect for anyone who values timeless style over max cushioning. It’s a shoe you buy for the look and the vibe, not for a gym session or long-distance walking. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "air jordan 1 red" sits in that classic tier. It's lighter and more flat-footed than a bulkier Jordan 4, for example. Versus a Jordan 1 Mid, the height and overall shape feel more 'complete' to me. You're getting the definitive, high-top experience. It’s a cornerstone of the Jordan series for a reason.
