Once on, the fit is true to size – snug in the midfoot, which I like. The leather smells fresh, and on camera, the blue looks even more vibrant. Versus the Air Jordan 1 "Chicago," this is subtler but still eye-catching. Upsides: durable construction, timeless appeal. Possible issue? It runs narrow for some. Recommendation: go for it if you appreciate retro vibes; avoid if you prefer wide, roomy fits. First impression of this "blue Air Jordan 1"? It's a straight-up classic. The color blocking is "simple, yet so effective". On feet, they're true to size with that familiar, slightly narrow AJ1 fit. They feel substantial, not heavy, but you know you're wearing them.
