If you're used to modern sneakers, you might find it a bit stiff. Still, as a Jordan classic, this retro high offers that familiar, secure feel. Not the comfiest, but it works. Sliding these Air Jordan 1 Retro Highs on for the first time... okay, real talk: the comfort is "not" modern. The midsole is firm, almost stiff. You feel connected to the ground — some people hate that, but for a casual wear? I don't mind it. The ankle collar gives great support and the fit is true to size. Just don't expect Boost or React-level cushioning here. Now, a potential con: they can be "heavy". Not like boot-heavy, but compared to a runner or a modern low-top, you'll notice the weight. Also, that beautiful leather creases — and it creases fast. If you're someone who wants your sneakers looking pristine forever, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High will stress you out. Embrace the wear; it tells a story. What’s good! Got the ‘Skyline’ air jordan 1 retro high in. First off, the color gradient is wild & looks even better in person than in pics. On-foot feel is the usual: great ankle lock, but the footbed is firm – no Zoom air here, folks. Versus a chunkier Jordan model, these feel lighter & more streamlined. The advantage is obviously the unbeatable silhouette & versatility. Downside? Zero modern comfort tech. A great choice for style-focused wardrobes, not for all-day adventures.
