If you only buy the most iconic, OG Jordan colorways, this might feel like a "side story." Also, if you live in a super wet or muddy area, that light outsole and suede might cause you constant anxiety. It's not a beater shoe, for sure. Who should maybe skip it? If you're on a tight budget, wait for a sale. If you need max cushioning for all-day "standing"? Modern tech beats this. And if you're new to Jordans and want your "first" iconic pair? Maybe start with a more classic black/red or white-based colorway. This is for the "connoisseur". A potential "con" for some? The patent leather can be a bit stiff initially and might crease in a specific way. Also, at $225, it's a significant investment for a lifestyle shoe. If you want a super-soft, broken-in feel right out of the box, this might not be it. It requires a short break-in period. Putting these on? The fit is snug – true to size for me! The patent leather gives that structured feel around the ankle, but the inner sleeve makes it comfortable. Honestly, for a performance model from the '90s, the cushioning is... decent. It's not super plush like modern shoes, but you feel that Air unit. For casual wear, it’s totally fine.
