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. 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. On foot now, and the fit is "exactly" what you expect from a Jordan 1: snug, supportive, and true to size. Don't expect modern cushioning – it's that classic, firm feel. The weight is average, but that red pops "so" much in person versus online pics. It's a head-turner for sure, but maybe too loud for a daily beater. If you love bold styles, this air jordan 1 red is for you. Let's talk comfort vs. style. This Air Jordan 1 'Red' is a 7/10 on comfort – it's not terrible, but it's not cloud-like. The style is a definite 10/10. The all-red look is "iconic" and pairs well with so much. Compared to newer Jordan models, it's definitely more rigid. I'd recommend these to sneakerheads who value design history. If you're new to Jordans, maybe try a more broken-in pair first.
