Air jordan 1 retro : Just got my hands on the 'Court Purple' version [eukajce4]

The leather has a nice tumbled texture on this release! Lacing them up, the ankle collar is stiff initially – a common AJ1 Retro thing. On camera, that purple really stands out against the black. It's a loud shoe, which I like! The obvious flaw? Arch support is minimal. Priced around $180, it's a great color block. Recommend for bold dressers, not for those with high arches or wide feet, honestly. Comparing it to other Retros: The "Air Jordan 1" is the blueprint. It's lighter than a Jordan 2, but less cushioned than a Jordan 4. My verdict? It's a must-have for any Jordan collection—for its history. But as a daily wearable? Only if you prioritize looks over cloud-like comfort. Check out these ‘Shadow 2.0’ Air Jordan 1 Retros. This dark grey and black combo is stealthy and goes with "everything". For $170, it's a solid deal. Out of the box, the build feels robust. On foot, you get that classic, locked-in AJ1 feel—ankle support is great. Stylistically, it’s less flashy than some colorways, which I love for daily wear. Pro: Arguably the most wearable AJ1 colorway ever. Con: Like all 1s, ventilation isn’t great; your feet will get warm. This is the pair I'd recommend to someone who wants one do-it-all sneaker. Not for those who crave breathability or ultra-soft cushioning. Who should maybe skip it? If your priority is "all-day" cloud-like comfort, or you need a performance basketball shoe, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro" isn't it. Also, if you're on a tight budget, there are more comfortable daily drivers for less money.
