The insole is basic - zero tech. If you need arch support, you'll need to swap it. Also, some might find the leather a bit stiff initially. It's not the plush stuff you get on higher-tier retros. This "Jordan 1 Rare Air" is about the look first, comfort second. Just being real with you. Now, the potential downside – and it's a real one for purists. The leather quality isn't as thick or plush as on some recent Jordan 1 retros. It's more of a standard, break-in leather. Also, if you "love" that stiff, structured feel of the original AJ1, this softer, lighter build might feel a bit... insubstantial to you. Just keeping it real! So, who's this for? It's perfect for the casual wearer who loves the Jordan 1 shape but doesn't wanna spend $200+. It's a great first Jordan, or a solid beater pair for your rotation. The 'Midnight Navy' is easy to style. You're getting that iconic Jordan Series vibe for everyday use, without breaking the bank. In conclusion – the Jordan 1 Rare Air 'Sail/Royal' gets a thumbs up from me for casual, everyday use. It's a solid 8/10. Not the most hype release, but a seriously practical one. It fills a specific role in a wardrobe perfectly. Would I cop? For $150? Absolutely – it's a no-brainer comfortable, stylish beater that still turns heads.
