The main drawback is the comfort, or lack thereof. If you have wide feet, the break-in period for this "blue Air Jordan 1" could be "real". Also, that smooth leather is a crease magnet - it's going to show wear quickly, which some people hate. And at the end of the day, it's still a premium price for a technology that's over 40 years old. You're paying for the legacy and the look, not for cutting-edge performance. Keep that in mind. Who should probably skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers, for sure. Also, if you already have multiple blue sneakers or a similar Jordan 1 colorway (like a Game Royal), this might feel redundant. And if you're only into super-limited, hyped releases... well, this isn't that. It's a clean, well-executed general release, and that's its strength. Potential con? That classic Jordan 1 break-in period. The collar "will" dig into your ankle at first – it's a known thing. Also, at $180 USD, you're purely buying design/history. The tech is 1985-level. If modern cushioning is your top priority, this isn't it. It's a flat, firm ride. Just keeping it real with you guys. Here's a real talk point: the break-in period. The first few wears can be a bit stiff around the toebox. It's normal for this model, but if you prioritize immediate, all-day cloud-like comfort...this might not be your pick. The Blue Air Jordan 1 is about that iconic look and feel, not cutting-edge comfort tech.
