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 on… yeah, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High feel exactly how you remember. The ankle support is great, but let's be real – the cushioning is firm. It’s not a modern, plush ride. For me, that’s part of the charm, but if you need cloud-like comfort, you might wanna look at other Jordan models like the 3s or 4s. Who should "avoid" it? People with serious foot issues or those who walk miles every day. The support is there, but the cushioning isn't. Also, if you hate creased leather, be warned – these will crease, and that's part of their character! The "Jordan series" has more comfortable options if that's your main concern. So, who is this for? Honestly, if you're new to sneakers or just want one iconic pair, the 'Air Jordan 1 Retro High' is a perfect starting point. It's for the style-focused wearer who values heritage over hyper-cushioning. It's a must for any 'Jordan' series collector, too, simply because of what it represents.
