0'. First thing I noticed out the box was the "quality"—the grey nubuck is really nice! Pulling these Air 1s on, the fit is snug and supportive right away. Visually, they're super versatile. Compared to a bulkier Jordan 4, these are way more sleek for everyday wear. Major pro: goes with "everything". Con? That stiff out-of-box feel. Great starter sneaker, but hardcore comfort seekers might wanna skip. Honest take: The Jordan Air 1 is a legend, but it’s not for "everyone". If you prioritize supreme comfort above all else, maybe look at the Jordan 3s or some New Balance models. But for that iconic, street-ready style—the Jordan 1, especially around this $180 price point, is still a solid entry in the Jordan series. Let's talk materials on this specific pair. It's not premium, but it's durable. For everyday kicks, that’s actually a plus—you can beat them up a bit. The Jordan Air 1 design is so strong that even with basic leather, it holds up. Just don’t expect buttery-soft luxury at this $180-ish tier. The major "pro"? Versatility. This 'Black Toe' colorway goes with literally everything—cargos, jeans, shorts. It’s a wardrobe staple. The cons? That leather creases—and it shows. If you're super precious about keeping your kicks mint, a Jordan Air 1 might stress you out. For me, they look better with wear.
