Air jordan 1 retro : Comparing it to a newer Jordan, like a 36? Totally different worlds [d79it20s]

The AJ1 is about heritage and flat-footed stability. The newer models are for actual basketball. So, it depends on your need. For casual wear and collecting, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro" is still king for many. Here’s the biggest pro: timelessness. This shoe will never go out of style. It’s a cornerstone of the Jordan series and sneaker culture. The con? That lack of modern comfort. If you want a plush, bouncy ride, look elsewhere. This is a style-first, comfort-second kind of shoe, no question. Let's talk about this 'Bred Toe' colorway. Unboxing it, the color blocking is "fire"—such a perfect mix of the classic Bred and Chicago. The "air jordan 1 retro" construction is solid, no glue stains on my pair. On foot, the ankle collar is snug, which I like for support. It's a stiffer ride than, say, a Dunk Low. Major pro is the versatility; huge con is the comfort (or lack thereof). If you want history on your feet, cop. For pure comfort, skip. Checking out the ‘Electro Orange’ Air Jordan 1 Retro. The colors are vibrant—no filter needed! For about $170 USD, you know what you're getting. On-foot feel is identical to every other retro 1: break-in required. The pro is its statement-making ability. The con is the lack of modern tech. It's a simple comparison: choose these for history and aesthetics; choose a Jordan 11 or 12 for more cushioning and a different kind of comfort.
