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. Now, the not-so-great parts? The comfort, as I mentioned. If you're used to modern sneaker tech, these will feel flat & hard. Also, the all-black color can be seen as "boring" by some. If you love bright colors & statement pieces, this might not be for you. It's a subtle flex, not a scream-for-attention shoe. Final verdict? From me, it's a must-have – but with context. The Black Air Jordan 1 isn't the most exciting release, but it's arguably one of the most useful. It's a workhorse. You'll grab it constantly. For the price, you're paying for a design that will "never" go out of style. Just don't expect a comfort revolution. Who should "avoid" it? If comfort is your #1 priority, skip it. Also, if you want a flashy, head-turning sneaker, this ain't it – it’s stealthy. Beginners to the "Jordan series" might want a more classic colorway first. For the $190, know you're paying mostly for the look & brand legacy, not cutting-edge tech.
