The silhouette is just "chef's kiss". Practicality-wise, the all-leather upper makes it decent in damp weather. A huge pro is the sheer number of outfits it works with. On the flip side, that same leather needs a break-in period—it can rub at the heel. At $120, it's a fair price for a legend. I'd recommend it to anyone building a style foundation. Not for someone seeking a "barely-there" sneaker feel. Let's talk pros and cons, real quick. Major pro: extreme versatility. This shoe, especially in a core color, goes with "everything". Another pro is durability – the build on these can take a beating. The cons? That firm midsole isn't for everyone seeking plush comfort. Also, the leather can crease noticeably. That's just part of the journey with a Jordan Air Force 1, though. Who might want to skip? Performance athletes or folks with serious foot sensitivity — the firmness isn't for everyone. Also, if you hate heavy shoes, this ain't it. For ~$160, you could find more technical options. But you're not buying tech here — you're buying an icon. 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.
