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. Alright, let's get into these "Air Jordan 1 Retro 'Court Purple's". First off, the box is classic, and the leather quality? Honestly, it's decent for the $180 price point – not super premium but definitely solid. The purple and black contrast pops in hand. It’s that iconic "Air Jordan 1" silhouette we all love, no surprises there. Straight out of the box, they feel a bit stiff, but that's totally normal for this model. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High 'Court Purple' is in hand! My first thought? That purple is rich against the white—really pops. Construction feels on point. Sliding into them, the fit is snug (maybe go half up if you have wide feet). The support is classic AJ1: great for casual wear, not for long walks. On camera, this colorway is vibrant and fun. It stands out more than your average neutral. Pro: Awesome color statement. Con: Can be tricky to style for some. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a bold pop in their collection. If you stick to safe, muted colors, this might be too much. After wearing these 'Shadow' 1s all day, here's my take. The ankle support is excellent, but the sole is flat. I wouldn't recommend them for long walks – but for casual wear, a day out? Perfect. At roughly $170 USD, it’s an investment in a legendary sneaker, not in crazy comfort.
