This 'University Blue' colorway? It's sharp, clean, and the materials feel really nice. At around $180 USD, it's a standard ask for a classic like this. My first thought is always about the shape... and yeah, this one looks "so" good right out of the box. Who should "avoid" it? If you have really wide feet, the toebox can be restrictive. Also, if you need arch support or modern cushioning for all-day wear, this isn't your shoe. There are so many more comfortable options out there now. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High" is a classic, but it's a 1985 design—it hasn't evolved for performance. Be honest about your needs before dropping that cash. 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. 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.
