Comparing it to other Jordans, like the bulkier 4s or the 5s, the AJ1 is sleek&versatile. The advantage? Unmatched style history. The potential downside? That stiff break-in period can be rough for some. It's not for everyone, especially if you prioritize all-day cushioning above all else. Just copped the Nike Air Jordan 1 High OG 'University Blue'. Man, this color is stunning in natural light - camera loves it. The leather is decent, typical of recent OG releases. On-feet impression? They're narrow. If you have wider feet, you might need to size up half or be prepared for a tight break-in. "Positive": The silhouette is arguably the most recognizable in sneaker history. "Negative": The outsole is quite flat with minimal traction pattern, not great for wet surfaces. Priced at $170, I'd say these are for collectors of the Jordan series and fans of this specific colorway. For performance or wide-footers, be cautious. Final verdict from me? For the price, it's a staple. It’s not the comfiest shoe I own, but it’s one of the most worn. The 'Court Purple' colorway here is just so easy to style. You're investing in a look that never goes out of style. If you find it on sale? Even better. A solid cop for your rotation. Who should avoid it? If you need cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere—maybe to the Jordan 13 or something with Zoom air. Also, if you have very wide feet, the "nike air jordan 1" can feel narrow, especially during break-in. It's not the most forgiving fit. My advice? Try a half-size up if you're unsure. This shoe is about aesthetics first, performance second. Know what you're signing up for.
