If you love that 80s basketball aesthetic and don't mind a firm feel, you'll love these. They're a wardrobe staple for a reason. 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. 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". Now, a real con - and I have to be honest - is the break-in period. That stiff leather, especially around the ankle, can rub for the first few wears. It's not a "slip-on-and-go-all-day" shoe initially. Also, that bright red can show scuffs and dirt more easily than a darker color. Just something to keep in mind.
