The black air jordan 1 feels exactly how you expect — classic, supportive, but firm. They have that nice, structured feel. I like the leather — it’s not super-premium, but it’ll crease and age nicely. Pros? Easily the most versatile shoe in your collection. A major con? The flat footbed. If you need cushioning — maybe look at the AJ1 Zoom CMFT instead. Who should pass? If you're on your feet all day and need serious cushioning, look elsewhere. Also, if you're new to Jordans and want that "pop" of color, the all-black "black" Air Jordan 1 might feel too plain. It's a specific vibe. Alright, so here's the new black Air Jordan 1, a.k.a. the "Black Toe" reimagined, I guess? At $180 USD, this is a clean, "classic" colorway. My first impression? The build feels solid—nothing feels cheap. The all-leather upper? It's stiff out of the box, "for sure". The silhouette is "iconic", and this black, white, and red blocking is just... timeless. Who might not love these? If you have wider feet, the standard AJ1 fit can feel restrictive – consider going up half a size. Also, if you crave the latest tech or maximal comfort, look elsewhere. The black air jordan 1 is about heritage and style, not innovation. It’s simple, and for some, maybe "too" simple.
