0'. The grey/black is a forever classic—so clean. Immediately on feet, you feel that secure, locked-in fit. Compared to brighter pairs, these look "sharp" in real life, on camera, everywhere. The major advantage? Timeless versatility. The downside? Like all 1s, the break-in period isn't the most plush. For $170 USD, they're a wardrobe staple. Perfect for anyone wanting a premium, goes-with-anything sneaker. Not ideal for comfort-first runners. Potential con? The comfort, for sure. If you're used to React or Zoom, these will feel flat and firm. Break-in time is real. Also, the toe box creases – it's part of the story, but some people hate it. This isn't a performance shoe; it's a lifestyle icon. Keep that expectation in check before you drop the $180 USD. Here's the deal with the "Obsidian" Jordan Air 1. Unboxing felt special – the color blocking is just clean. On feet, the fit is perfect for me. They're not heavy at all, which I appreciate. Walking around, the leather starts to soften up a bit. Compared to some bulkier Jordans, this feels sleek and classic. The biggest pro is the easy styling. A potential con? The toe box might feel narrow for some. If you have wider feet, maybe try a half-size up. For most people looking for a stylish, everyday Jordan, this $170 investment is totally worth it. Who should skip it? "Comfort-first sneakerheads". If you need maximum cushion for all-day walks, this isn't it. Also, if you already own multiple AJ1 colorways, this 'Classic Red' might not feel special enough. It's an essential, but not an exciting new silhouette. Know what you're buying into with this Jordan series entry.
