The leather has softened up. They're not "comfort" sneakers, but they're perfectly fine. The "real" win is the look. Paired with jeans or cargos, the black Air Jordan 1 just elevates the fit. It's that simple. From a pure style perspective, this shoe is a 10/10. The matte black finish on the leather (depending on the release) looks premium. It’s a shoe that makes your whole fit look considered. In the entire Jordan series, this is one of the most wearable colorways ever, period. From a design standpoint, this "Black Jordan 1" is flawless in its simplicity. No crazy colors, just pure, wearable design. The leather creases in a way that adds character. It’s a shoe that actually looks better with some wear! Compared to the patent leather versions, this is much more low-key and daily-driver friendly. Biggest advantage of this shoe? Durability and style longevity. The black leather hides creases well, and scuffs aren't as obvious. It's a workhorse sneaker that stays looking fresh. The design is so simple and effective—that's the power of the Jordan 1 silhouette.
