The fit is true-to-size for me, offering a snug, secure wrap – no heel slip at all. But let's be real, comfort-wise? It's a firm, supportive feel, not a plush one. If you're coming from something like a React-soled runner, this "Jordan Air Force 1" will feel heavy and rigid. It’s about structure, not sinking in. Initial impression? This "Jordan Air Force 1" is built like a tank—in a good way. The materials feel durable. Once laced up, the support is incredible; your foot isn't going anywhere. Stylistically, they go with literally "everything", which is their biggest strength. However, that stiff leather can crease in a noticeable way. It's part of the charm for some, a deal-breaker for others. Worth it for the versatility? In my opinion, 100%. Just know what you're signing up for. Who should "avoid" these? If you prioritize lightweight comfort above all, look elsewhere. Runners or people who are on their feet all day might find these too heavy and rigid. Also, if you have very wide feet, the standard fit might feel tight before breaking in. It's a classic, but not for every single foot or lifestyle. On-foot feel update: After a full day, the cushioning is… adequate. 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.
