It's a smooth, untreated leather that's gonna age and patina uniquely. That's the main attraction here. Putting them on, they feel premium but require a little more care. They're still an AF1, so expect that familiar, sturdy feel underfoot. Compared to the standard all-leather "Jordan Air Force 1", this is for the enthusiast who wants a story with their shoe. Major pro: the evolving, personalized look. Downside: the higher $190 USD price tag and the need to baby them initially. Ideal for sneakerheads who love natural aging. Not great for anyone who wants a "set-it-and-forget-it" shoe. Honestly, reviewing another "Jordan Air Force 1" might seem repetitive, but there's a reason it's a staple. The construction on this pair — especially in this mid-tier $145 USD version — is consistent. Comfort-wise, it's not a "wow" but a reliable, familiar feel. Styling is the easiest part; they elevate jeans and a tee instantly. Compared to a Dunk, the AF1 has more presence. "Pro:" Unmatched classic status. "Con:" Can feel redundant if you own similar silhouettes. I'd say get them if you don't have a pure white leather sneaker. Pass if you do. Alright, unboxing this suede version of the "Jordan Air Force 1". First thing I noticed? The materials feel premium—way softer than the standard leather. The color is rich, and the texture really shows up on camera. Slipping them on, the fit is TTS, with that same roomy toe box. The major upgrade here is the look and feel; the downside is suede is harder to maintain. Priced a bit higher, maybe $145-$150, it's worth it if you value materials. If you're rough on your shoes or live in a rainy area, maybe stick to the classic leather. To wrap it up – would I personally cop? Yeah, I already did. For "$150 USD", it's a justified purchase. It fills a specific role that few other Jordans can: pure, uncomplicated style. It’s not my gym shoe, it’s my "outfit" shoe. Just give it a few wears to loosen up, and you'll have a pair that lasts for years. Hope this honest review helps you decide
