The main one is the comfort, or lack of "modern" comfort. The footbed is firm. If you're on your feet all day, these aren't your go-to. Also, the leather can crease noticeably – some love that, some hate it. The 'Air Jordan 1 Retro High' is a lifestyle shoe first, performance second. Unboxing this ‘Midnight Navy’ "Air Jordan 1 Retro High"... the leather has a nice tumble! Deep blue is clean. Classic high-top shape, always reliable. On foot, the fit is snug—true to size for me. The break-in period is a thing, don't expect clouds. Pros? Incredible versatility and that Jordan Series clout. Cons? Arch support is basically non-existent. At this price point (~$185), you're buying the look, not tech. Ideal for casual wear and completing a fit. Terrible for long walks or standing all day. Just my honest take. Just unboxed the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High" in the 'Bred' colorway, priced around $180. My first thought? The shape on this pair is so clean, man. Holding it, you immediately feel the heritage. The leather has a nice, classic feel—not super plush, but that's part of the "authentic" Jordan 1 look. It's a solid start for a legendary silhouette. Here's the real talk, though: the cons. That stiff leather can be unforgiving, causing break-in blisters. Also, at nearly $180, you're "not" paying for cutting-edge comfort tech. It's a flat, firm ride. If you have wide feet, seriously consider going up half a size. This isn't a performance shoe; it's a style & culture icon first and foremost.
