You instantly know what you're getting with this Jordan series staple—a pure, versatile foundation. Conversely, who should "skip" the "black air jordan 1"? Anyone with wide feet or major comfort needs. Also, if you're new to sneakers and want that "pop" of color – maybe start with a different colorway.
