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. Let's get these on feet. Honestly? The feel is classic Jordan 1: stiff at first, needs break-in. The "blue Air Jordan 1" has a secure fit—true to size for me. They're not heavy, but you "know" you're wearing a solid shoe. Compared to newer, cushioned Jordans? These are about style, not comfort (initially). Major pro? That color-blocking is iconic / timeless. Opening the box – wow, this blue Air Jordan 1 looks sharp! The blue color is vibrant, and the build quality feels solid for the Jordan series. At $170 USD, it's a standard price, but the first impression? It's a classic silhouette that really stands out. The leather has a nice sheen, making it pop right away. Honestly, I'm excited to try these on! Just put on this "Blue Air Jordan 1" Mid, and "man", the color "really" shines in natural light. It’s a "sharp", clean look. The insole is "basic", as expected—zero arch support. Walking around, you feel that "firm" Phylon midsole. "Compared" to something like a Dunk, the AJ1 has a "more" structured, "supportive" feel. I "love" it for short outings or style fits. "However", if you have wide feet? The narrow toe box "could" be an issue. "Solid" pickup for the price, though.
