The ankle support is different—it's higher and stiffer than, say, a Jordan 3. It's a unique feel in the "Jordan series". If you're used to newer retros with better tech, the 1 will feel basic... but sometimes basic is perfect. On foot, the Air Jordan 1 Retro silhouette just "works". It makes your outfit instantly cleaner. This 'Chicago' colorway (or any OG color, really) pops in person & on camera. The high-top design gives a classic basketball profile. Is it the comfiest shoe? Nah. But for style points & that timeless Jordan series vibe? Unbeatable. If you prioritize cloud-like comfort, maybe look elsewhere. But for a sneakerhead? This is a must-consider. Check out this pair! It's the Air Jordan 1 Retro 'Court Purple'. The purple just pops against the black, and the build quality here is solid. Putting them on, the break-in period is real—expect some stiffness initially. Visually? The high-top shape is legendary on-camera and on-foot. Compared to a Jordan 3, for example, you're trading comfort for that classic, high-fashion look. Major pro: you can wear these with almost anything. Con: they crease easily. If you're a style-first person in the Jordan series, go for it. Performance hoops? No. Final verdict on these 'Obsidian' Air Jordan Retro 1s? For me, yes, they're worth it. They're a wearable piece of art. The color blocking is beautiful, the materials feel premium, and they elevate simple fits instantly. I've worn them all day, and while they're not Boost-level comfy, they're fine. They're a staple. If you can get them near retail price, I'd say go for it. Just break them in slowly.
