The leather is stiff at first, no doubt. The ankle collar needs some breaking in - but that’s part of the process. The lockdown is great, though. For me, the comfort is… fine? It’s not a modern, plush shoe, but that’s not why you get a black air jordan 1. You get it for the look and the history. Putting these on... the fit is "true" to size for me. The ankle collar gives that classic, supportive wrap J1s are known for. Let's be real—the comfort isn't modern. It's a firm, flat ride. But for daily wear, it's "fine". The main appeal? Its sheer versatility. This black Air Jordan 1 is a blank canvas for fits. A true wardrobe staple, but don't expect cloud-like comfort, you know? Who should maybe skip it? If comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Also, if you already have multiple black sneakers, this might feel redundant. And for new sneakerheads? It's a perfect "first" AJ1, but know what you're getting into: a stylish, somewhat stiff shoe. It's an investment in a look, not a comfort revolution. Let's talk pros. The biggest one? Styling. This black Air Jordan 1 is a wardrobe staple. The leather should crease nicely, and it hides dirt well. The construction feels durable. It's a shoe you can beat up a bit—and it'll still look cool. That's a huge plus in my book for a daily sneaker.
