The "air jordan 1 university blue" fits true to size for me. That classic AJ1 feel is all here: a secure, locked-in fit around the midfoot and ankle. If you have a wider foot or a high instep, "maybe" consider going half a size up? The cushioning is what it is – don't expect Boost or ZoomX. It's firm, but that's the iconic feel.
