The air unit in the heel is noticeable, but the forefoot is firm. They're not uncomfortable, just "substantial". You feel the weight (which isn't crazy, but it's there). The leather started to crease naturally – which I actually like on an AF1. It adds character. Just know, it's part of the journey with this model. Alright, let's talk comfort on these "Jordan Air Force 1" '07s. Straight out the box, they feel firm—not plush. That's the Air unit for you! The ankle collar provides great lockdown, though. Aesthetically, that crisp white leather upper just looks premium on foot. Compared to a Jordan 3? Totally different vibe—this is more of a canvas for your outfit. Pros: Timeless look, durable build. The "real" con? They're not lightweight by any means. Great for style-first folks; not for anyone prioritizing ultimate foot speed or comfort. Here's my real take. This "jordan air force 1" is the definition of a reliable sneaker. The build is consistent, the look is forever cool. For $135, it's a fair price in today's market. The "biggest pro" is its timelessness. The "con"? It's not innovative or exciting if you're a tech geek. I'd recommend it to any new sneakerhead building a foundation. I'd skip it if your collection is all about the latest cushioning tech. Yo, the 'Patent Leather' Jordan Air Force 1 is here! The shine on these is insane - they literally gleam under studio lights. However, the trade-off is flexibility; the patent material doesn't bend as easily, so break-in takes longer. On feet, they're definitely a head-turner. A clear pro is the unique, glossy finish that elevates any fit. A significant con is the creasing - it can be very pronounced on this material. Compared to standard leather Jordans, it’s a different beast. I’d recommend these for special occasions or bold fashion statements. Not recommended as your daily, beater shoe.
