Check out this latest pickup: the "air jordan retro 1" 'Dark Mocha'. The quality here is "noticeable" – that suede/nubuck combo is "soft". My "first" wear? Super comfortable "for a 1", but still firm underfoot. Compared to something like a "Jordan" 3, it's less cushioned but arguably more sleek. "Pro?" Premium materials and a super-wearable colorway.
