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. Alright, let's get into these! First off, the box is classic Jordan 1... no surprises there. Pulling out this 'University Blue' pair, the color-blocking is just "chef's kiss". It's the iconic 'Chicago' template but with that clean blue & black. Initial quality? Solid! The leather feels decent – not buttery soft, but it's what you expect from a general-release "nike air jordan 1". For $180 USD, it's a fair starting point. Let's talk about the elephant in the room: comfort. The OG "Nike Air Jordan 1" isn't a modern performance shoe. After a few hours, my feet did feel it. The advantage, though? That ankle support is legit, and the flat base is great for casual wear. At ~$180, you're buying the look & the legacy. It’s a fair trade-off if you value design over max comfort. Let's talk about the "Air Jordan 1" 'University Blue'. This color just pops on camera! My pair was around $190 USD. The materials feel nice, but the real test is on foot. They're not "uncomfortable", but you feel that firm cupsole. It's a trade-off for that iconic silhouette. The pros? Unbeatable style. The con? Don't expect Boost-like comfort. If you're a fan of the "Jordan 1" aesthetic, you'll deal with it.
