Look, it's still an "Air Jordan 1", so don't expect Boost-level cushioning. BUT, the new foam sockliner and softer leather make a "noticeable" difference. It's a more broken-in feel from day one compared to the stiff 2015 UNC pair. Who is this for? Honestly, for "anyone" missing a blue-based Jordan 1 in their collection. It's also perfect for newcomers; this is a cornerstone silhouette in a legendary color. Who isn't it for? Folks who prioritize ultimate comfort above all else. If your feet demand React or Zoom cushioning, you might find the AJ1 platform too unforgiving for all-day wear. In summary: Thumbs up from me if you love the silhouette and this colorway. You’re paying for premium materials and a unique take. Just go in knowing the fit is classic AJ1, and the comfort is, well, classic AJ1. The "Air Jordan 1 UNC Reimagined" is a win for collectors and fans of the breed. Who are these for? Collectors, UNC Tar Heels fans, & anyone who missed out on older versions. They’re for people who appreciate sneaker history & want a vibrant staple in their rotation. If you love the AJ1 silhouette, this is one of the best colorways you can get right now.
