0'. Opening the box, the grey and black combo is so subtle yet powerful—a perfect everyday shoe. Price was about $170. On foot, the fit is perfect for me (I went TTS), and the lockdown is good. But I have to be honest: after wearing Zoom Air sneakers all day, putting these on feels... basic. There's not much going on underfoot. The design is flawless, a true staple in the "Jordan" lineage. Pro? Unbeatable, wearable design. Con? You're paying for the name and silhouette, not groundbreaking comfort. I'd say these are perfect for someone building a versatile rotation. If comfort is your #1 priority, you might be disappointed. Here's my take after a full day in these. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro" breaks in nicely, becoming more comfortable over time. The leather softens up. However, that initial stiffness is real. On camera, the shoe's proportions are perfect – it's why it's so photogenic. Compared to a low-top version, you get more support. The advantage is its sheer iconic status and how it completes a fit. The disadvantage is breathability; it can get warm. Great for fall/winter, maybe too much for summer. Alright, so let's get these out of the box. First impression? Man, the shape on this "air jordan 1 retro" 'Chicago' is just so classic, it's unreal. The red and white leather feels premium right away, no complaints there. On foot, they're exactly what you expect: a bit stiff, great ankle support, but don't look for Boost-level comfort. For $180, you're buying the iconic look, period. It's a must for collectors, but if you need all-day cushion, maybe look elsewhere. Just my honest take. Unboxing this ‘Bleached Coral’ Air Jordan 1 Retro Low, and wow—the suede is super soft! For $140, the materials are impressive. The pastel pink and grey combo is way nicer in person than in photos. Sliding them on, they're lightweight and the break-in is minimal for a low-top. Comparing it to a Retro High, it’s obviously less restrictive around the ankle. Pro: Amazing summer vibe and great quality. Con: Light suede can be a stain magnet, so be careful. I'd recommend these to anyone wanting a fresh, low-key AJ1. If you prefer high-tops for ankle support, skip it.
