If you need plush comfort, look elsewhere. The midsole is basic, and the shoe is on the heavier side. For $185, some might expect more tech. It's a style-over-substance model, which is fine—just know what you're buying into. Okay, "opening" the box... "wow". This ""Blue"" shade on the "Air Jordan 1" is "so" much richer in person—photos "don't" do it justice! It's the "OG" High OG version, so you're paying that ~$190 premium. On foot? "Immediate" head-turner. The craftsmanship is "on point", with "clean" stitching. "But" let's be real: the comfort is "non-existent" for the first few wears—"super" stiff. Love it for the style & heritage, "but" if you want a comfy sneaker? This "ain't" it. Now, the cons - because nothing's perfect. 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. Now, the cons—and I have to be real. If you need modern comfort, look elsewhere. The midsole is stiff; it’s not a “all-day walking” shoe for everyone. Also, that premium blue leather? It can crease noticeably. If you're super precious about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bug you. It’s a trade-off for the classic look.
