If you're new to Jordans, you might wonder about the value versus performance sneakers. It's a "lifestyle" piece first, performance second. Let's talk pros & cons. Pro: Timeless design that always gets compliments. Pro: The build quality on my pair is excellent – no glue stains or messy stitching. Con: At $225, it's a premium price tag.
