Air jordan 1 shattered backboard : The cons? It's not a "value" sneaker [1fzmv4mk]

At $170+, you're paying for the legacy & materials. Also, the ankle can rub a bit before break-in. Not a deal-breaker, just be aware. Compared to a Dunk, it's more structured. Compared to an AJ1 Low, it's more statement-making. It knows what it is. Compared to my other Jordans—like a standard 'Chicago'—the quality here feels a step up. The leather has a nicer grain. However, that classic AJ1 silhouette means the same break-in period; it's not the comfiest shoe out of the box. Just being real: if you prioritize all-day comfort above all, maybe look elsewhere. Here's my take: the quality is a major "pro" for this shoe. The tumbled leather on the black panels is soft, and the white leather is smooth. Comparing it to a standard Jordan 1 Mid? No contest. However, that stiff, supportive feel might not be for everyone seeking all-day comfort. If you want a pillow on your foot, look elsewhere. Slipping them on, the fit is true to size for me. The padding around the collar is great, no heel slippage. They're not heavy, but you feel their presence, you know? They "feel" like a quality product. A definite advantage is the timeless design – this isn't a trend that'll fade. The 'Shattered Backboard' story adds a cool layer for any sneakerhead. It's more than just a colorway.
