Opening the box on this 'Midnight Navy' Air Jordan 1 Retro High. First thing I notice is that rich, deep blue leather — it looks premium. At $170 USD, it's in the standard Retro High price range.

Unbeatable, timeless design that elevates any simple outfit. Con? The lack of real cushioning is very noticeable. I'd recommend this to anyone building a sneaker rotation who values style over cloud-like comfort. Okay, straight up—this is a first-time AJ1 buyer perspective. Unboxing: "Oh, these are stiff!"
