If you love the Jordan series and want a staple blue shoe, this is it. It's also great for folks who want a stylish, wearable sneaker that gets compliments. The air jordan 1 university blue just has that classic, respected look. Comparing it to recent drops... The materials on this 'Air Jordan 1' feel standard, maybe a bit better than some recent releases. The blue is rich. Is it worth the $180 over a different colorway? Depends on your closet. If you need a pop of color, this 'University Blue' version is a strong contender. It just "works". On feet, the color really pops. The "university blue" panels against the white and black create such a clean, classic contrast. It’s perfect for spring/summer fits. Compared to newer Js, the AJ1 is definitely heavier and less cushioned. But hey, for style points? It's still undefeated in my book. Major advantage: its versatility. Putting them on my feet, the fit is true to size – snug, but in that good, supportive way the Jordan 1 is known for. The "University Blue" panels against the white really stand out when you're walking. The ankle collar locks you in. Comfort-wise, don't expect Boost or anything; it's that familiar, firm court feel. Still, a great foundation for all-day wear.
