It's more formal-looking than a 1 or a 3, and definitely heavier. The cushioning is more about stability than the bouncy feel of a Jordan 13, for example. This "gamma blue restock" fits right into that legacy – it's a special occasion shoe for your feet, in the best way. Unboxing these, the quality feels great. The patent leather has a nice, deep shine to it... no weird creases or glue stains on my pair. For $225 USD, you expect solid construction, and this Gamma Blue colorway delivers. It feels premium right out of the box, seriously. Now, potential cons? The cushioning isn't super plush like modern performance shoes—it's more about stability. Also, if you have a wider foot, this might feel restrictive. And at $225? It's a serious investment. Some might find the high-gloss look a bit "much" for every single day. It's a statement piece, for sure. Is it worth the $225 USD price tag? For me, yes – especially with this "restock". You're paying for the legacy, the premium materials, and a colorway that’s been hyped for years. It's an investment in your rotation. However, if you're new to sneakers and just want comfy kicks, there are cheaper options. This is for the collector or the fan who appreciates the design.
