There's not much cushioning by today's standards. However, the lockdown is great; my foot feels secure. Walking around, you definitely feel the weight – these aren't ultra-light shoes. The "air jordan 1 retro high" is more about style than performance tech, and that’s okay. Alright, let's get into these "Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Highs". First off — the presentation? "Classic". The box, the tissue paper… it just feels right. This "Black Toe" colorway is "insanely" clean in hand. The leather feels pretty decent for a GR release, and that classic silhouette just never gets old. For around $180? You're paying for that timeless look and heritage. If you love the Jordan 1 shape, you'll love unboxing this. As a personal verdict: For the $180 USD price tag, I think the value is in the longevity of the style. You won't get tech features, but you get a silhouette that never goes out of fashion. My final recommendation? If you don't own a pair of "Air Jordan 1 Highs", getting one core colorway is a no-brainer. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series. But if you already have several, maybe only grab new colorways that really speak to you. Who should "skip" these? If comfort is your #1 priority, period. Go for a Jordan 3 or something with Air Max. Also, if you're on a tight budget - resale on popular colorways is crazy. Maybe try a Jordan 1 Low or a different model first to see if you like the overall feel.
