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. Let's talk "pros". The biggest advantage of this "black Air Jordan 1" is its sheer versatility. It's a blank canvas for outfits. The build is durable, & it hides creases & scuffs better than any light-colored shoe. For $190, you're getting a timeless design that won't go out of style. It's a workhorse in sneaker form. Final verdict? For me, it's a must-have. The black Air Jordan 1 High is a foundational piece. It's not the most exciting release, but it's arguably the most "useful". It fills a specific, practical niche in any rotation. I’ve been wearing mine non-stop since I got them – that says it all. On foot, this black Air Jordan 1 just "works". It’s stealthy yet has major presence. The matte black leather hides creases pretty well... a huge plus for daily beaters. Compared to brighter Jordans, this is your go-to for a low-key, polished look. It's a perfect first Jordan 1, honestly. The $180 price is an investment, but in this color? You'll wear it constantly. Just know it's a stiff shoe at first.
