It’s a foundational piece. For newbies, it’s a perfect, low-risk entry into the Jordan series. At $190, it's an investment in a timeless style that won't go out of fashion. You really can't go wrong here. The biggest pro? Its sheer versatility. You can wear this sneaker with 90% of your closet and it just works. The construction is durable, and the colorway hides dirt well. For a Jordan series classic, it’s a practical choice if you want one pair that does it all. Who should "avoid" it? If you prioritize cloud-like comfort above all else, look at a Jordan 13 or something with more Zoom. Also, if you love colorful, expressive kicks, this all-black Jordan 1 might feel too plain or even "boring" to you. It’s a specific vibe – and it doesn't try to be anything else. Pros? Timeless design. Incredibly easy to style. The black leather is durable and should age well with creases. It's a foundational piece for any sneaker rotation. Cons? As mentioned, the comfort tech is dated. Also, the all-black can show dust easily. And hey, at $180, it's an investment for a simple color – but sometimes simple is best.
