Air jordan 1 shattered backboard : On feet now, & let's be real—the air jordan 1 shattered backboard isn't a comfort king [famcvu8g]

It's a Jordan 1, so you know the deal: a bit stiff, needs break-in time. The ankle padding is great for lockdown, though. It's about style & legacy, not cushioning. Compared to a newer Jordan model, like a 36? Totally different world. But for that classic high-top feel & look, it's perfect. Unboxing this pair felt special. You see the 'Shattered Backboard' graphics on the box and you just know the history. Holding the shoe, the build quality is apparent – tight stitching, good leather tumbling. It's a substantial sneaker, not flimsy at all. When you pay around $180 (or more on the aftermarket), you want that solid feel, and this Jordan 1 delivers on that premium first impression. Now, the not-so-great stuff. The main con? That price on the resale market... it's "steep". Also, if you need plush, cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The ankle collar can be stiff initially and might rub - breaking these in is a must. The Shattered Backboard isn't for the comfort-first sneakerhead, that's for sure. Now, a potential con: the price. Retailing around $170 USD (good luck at that price now!), the resell is steep. You’re paying for the hype and history. Also, if you have super wide feet, the narrow AJ1 toe box might be an issue. It's not the most forgiving fit, that's for real.
