The look is unbeatable, and the quality on this specific release is good. Yes, the midsole is stiff, but you get used to it. For my collection, it's a cornerstone. I'd say it's worth the investment if you value design and heritage. Just maybe not as your "only" pair of sneakers. Is it worth the hype & price? For me, yes. The "Air Jordan Retro 1" is a pillar of the entire "Jordan" series. It's wearable art. The downside? Everyone has a pair – so it's not unique. But sometimes, you just want the original blueprint, you know? It's a confident, classic choice that never really goes out of style. Final verdict from me? I love it. For my collection, the "Air Jordan Retro 1" is a must-have pillar. The ‘Military Blue’ is a beautiful, classic colorway that breaks up the usual red/black/white rotation. Is it the most comfy shoe I own? Nope. But does it make me feel a certain way when I put it on? Absolutely. For that iconic look and feel, it's worth it to "me". Opening the box, this "Air Jordan Retro 1" 'Obsidian' pair looks even better in hand. The mix of blue & white is super clean. On foot, they feel... classic. The leather is soft in some areas, stiff in others. It's a stylish, versatile shoe you can wear with almost anything. Downside? That midsole is hard—don't expect bounce. For $190, you're buying the look & legacy. Ideal for casual wear & collectors. Not ideal for all-day comfort or serious ball.
