Air jordan 1 retro : Let's be real about a potential downside- creasing [idalbg2l]

The soft leather on some "Air Jordan 1 Retro" colorways creases almost immediately. Some people hate that, some people think it adds character. Personally? I don't mind it—it shows you wear your shoes! But if you're a "keep 'em crispy forever" collector, that might bug you. Just something to think about. The pros? Iconic design, incredible versatility for outfits, and a build that feels like it'll last. The 'Bred' colorway, especially, just has that "undeniable" aura. Cons? As mentioned, the footbed is stiff—break-in time is real. Also, at around $180, it's not a "performance" shoe, so manage your expectations for all-day wear. So here's the deal with this "Air Jordan 1 Retro": the biggest pro is its versatility and legendary status. The cons? The break-in period and that firm ride I keep mentioning. They're not "comfortable" out of the box like modern sneakers. I'd recommend these to collectors or anyone who values iconic style over cushioning. If tech and comfort are your top priorities, this isn't your shoe. Classic ‘Black Toe’ Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG—the legend itself! The $180 price tag feels justified for this icon. Unboxing is pure nostalgia. The red, black, and white is just perfect. On foot, it’s the blueprint: snug heel, firm sole. Visually, it’s probably the most balanced AJ1 ever made. Pro: It’s history you can wear; the resale value on these is usually strong. Con: Everyone has them, so originality is low. This is a must for any serious Jordan enthusiast. If you dislike "hype" or common sneakers, you might want something more unique.
