Jordan 1 rare air : The con? If you're after that "authentic", 1985-style Jordan 1 experience, this isn't it [vbcphpd6]

The support structure is different. Also, materials are good "for the price", but don't expect premium tumbled leather. It’s a trade-off for that lower cost and updated design. Let's talk design details. I love that they kept the classic Wings logo, but the main thing with the "Jordan 1 Rare Air" is the perforated leather on the upper. It adds a subtle, "different" texture compared to the all-leather originals. In natural light, the Black/Red pops just as much. It’s a timeless look that works on-camera and in person. Performance-wise, I wouldn't ball in these. The support isn't there for serious hooping. But for casual use? The cushioning is fine – a standard, comfy insole. They're not "cloud-like," but I've been walking in them for hours with zero complaints. They feel broken in right out of the box, which is a huge plus. Conversely, the jordan 1 rare air probably isn't for the hardcore collector who only values exact OG specifications. If the "only" Jordan 1 you want is the original high-top with Nike Air branding, save your money for that. It's also not a performance basketball shoe – don't buy these for the court. Think of them as a lifestyle model first and foremost.
