First impression? This all-black colorway of the Air Jordan 1 is super clean, man. The leather feels decent – not super premium, but it’s solid for the price, around $180. The classic silhouette just looks sharp in straight black. It's a timeless look, honestly. Zero flash, all business. Let's talk fit. TTS for me. The leather needs a few wears to soften up around the ankle. The flat sole isn't doing my arches any favors on long walks — that's the main drawback. But, man, putting this black air jordan 1 on completes an outfit. It's a shoe with a purpose: to look cool. It achieves that 100%. Just manage your comfort expectations versus modern sneakers. Who should avoid it? If you're new to sneakers and expect modern comfort tech, you might be disappointed. Also, if you love bold color—this ain't it. The subtlety is its strength, but it could be boring for some. I'd say try it on first if you can, because that break-in period is a real factor to consider. Value-wise? At around $180 USD, it's a fair ask. You're paying for the silhouette and the timeless, wearable colorway. It's not a hype release, so you can often find it without the crazy resale. For a leather sneaker that will last and match anything, I think it's a justifiable purchase for the right buyer.
