Comfort... or lack thereof. The sole is flat and hard. If you’re on your feet all day, this isn’t your shoe. Also, creasing. The toe box "will" crease, it’s part of the deal with this leather. Don’t buy this "blue Air Jordan 1" expecting modern performance tech. You buy it for the look and the legacy. Bottom line: The Air Jordan 1 High OG 'University Blue' gets a recommendation from me. It's a future classic. Manage your comfort expectations, appreciate the history, and you'll love 'em. They look fire on foot, and sometimes that's all that matters. Would I pay the $180 USD? For this color? Yeah, I think so. Let me know your thoughts down below! Comparing it to other Jordans? This "blue AJ1" feels more 'OG' than a lot of recent retros. Versus a Jordan 3 or 4, it's definitely less cushioned — no Air unit in the heel, remember? But the simplicity is the appeal. It's lighter on foot than a lot of modern basketball-inspired sneakers. You're buying the icon, not the tech. Sizing note: I went TTS in this Blue Air Jordan 1, and it's perfect. The break-in period is real, though—expect some stiffness. As a foundational piece in the Jordan line, it does its job. The price point (~$180) is the standard now, sadly. It’s a good shoe if you love the model and need this color. Not a "game-changer," but a solid wardrobe staple.
