It gives it character, but if you're super anal about keeping your kicks pristine, it might bug you. Also, at this $180-200 price point, some might expect more modern comfort features. Unboxing this 'Bred Patent Leather' version. Whoa, the shine is real! First thing you notice is the altered material. It's a statement piece. On foot, they feel... different. The patent leather is less forgiving, so getting that perfect fit is crucial. They're still a Jordan 1 High at the core - same silhouette, same iconic status. The $200 price is a premium, but you're paying for the unique look. Major pro is the head-turning effect. Con is the potential for cracking long-term. Perfect for bold fashion looks, maybe not for your daily beater rotation. Now, the potential con? If you need modern, plush comfort – look elsewhere. The midsole is firm. For all-day walking or standing, your feet might feel it. Also, the leather can crease quickly… but that’s part of the character! The "Jordan 1" isn't trying to be a cloud. Know what you're buying: iconic style over cutting-edge comfort. After wearing them out, the creasing is noticeable – but honestly, on Jordan 1s, I think it adds character. The 'Obsidian' colorway I got is "so clean" in person. Compared to the newer, more engineered Jordan models, this feels simple, raw, and honest. I "appreciate" that.
