The main one? That flat, firm midsole. If you're on your feet all day, this isn't your go-to "comfort" shoe – you'd want something with more tech. Also, the toe box creases... it's gonna happen, it's part of the leather's charm (or annoyance, depending on your view). So, this specific Jordan Air 1 model isn't for the comfort-first crowd. After wearing these Jordan 1s for a bit, the leather does break in nicely. The fit is true to size, good width. The grip is decent on dry surfaces. Is it worth the price? For this colorway and quality, yes – if you love the design. But at retail or slightly above; I wouldn't pay a massive resell premium for the basic tech inside. Let's talk design. This 'University Blue' "jordan air 1" is a straight-up classic. The materials are decent for the price point (around $170 USD). The all-white midsole pops against that blue. On camera? It's a beauty—so photogenic. Compared to a chunkier "Jordan" 4, the Air 1 is just sleek and goes with literally everything in your closet. Let's break down value. At ~$180, the "jordan air 1" isn't cheap. You're paying for the design icon status. Compared to a general release dunk, the materials might feel similar, but the "cultural weight" is different. If you've never owned one, it's a worthy experience. If you own multiple pairs already, you know exactly what you're getting.
