First thing I noticed unboxing this Air Jordan 1 Retro High in the 'University Blue' colorway is how clean that color-blocking is. The materials feel decent for the $180 price point, honestly. The classic shape is just so iconic. My initial thought? This is a classic for a reason. On-camera review time! The 'Taxi' colorway honestly looks even better on video. That yellow pops! In-hand, the leather quality is good for a GR (General Release). On-foot feel? Predictable. You get a firm, stable platform. The "air jordan 1 retro high" is about silhouette and attitude. Pro: Unmatched versatility in a sneaker wardrobe. Con: They can feel a bit "clunky" until broken in. A safe buy for any sneakerhead, a pass for pure comfort seekers. One real drawback? That break-in period. The back of the collar can be brutal on your Achilles heel for the first few wears. It's a common issue with Air Jordan 1 Retro Highs. Also, the sole is quite flat and hard - not ideal if you're on your feet all day. You buy these for the look and the legacy, not for plush comfort. Just keeping it 100. 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.
