The fit is pretty true-to-size – nice and snug. The break-in period is real; they'll soften up where they need to. The high-top collar gives great stability, which I appreciate. Is it worth the retail price? For a classic colorway, yes. For a GR in a color you're not crazy about? Maybe wait for a sale. Always buy what "you" love. Sliding these on... okay, immediate thoughts. The fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar gives that snug, secure feel—it's supportive! But let's be real: the cushioning is firm. You're not getting Boost or React here. It's that classic, slightly stiff AJ1 experience. For all-day comfort? Maybe not. But for style points? Absolutely unbeatable. The Air Jordan 1 'Court Purple' is here! That rich purple leather looks so good against the black. Initial try-on: the insole is pretty basic, and you feel the court – you know what I mean? It's a flat, supportive feel. Visually, this colorway is a powerhouse. It holds its own against any other Jordan in my collection. Pro: Bold, regal colors that stand out. Con: The standard, non-plush Jordan 1 footbed. Priced at $170 USD, it's a must for color lovers, but not the move if you prioritize under-the-foot comfort above all else. Alright, so first impressions unboxing this pair? The box is classic, and the leather quality on this "nike air jordan 1" 'Court Purple' is actually pretty solid for the $170 price tag. The color blocking is just iconic, you know? That high-top silhouette—instantly recognizable. It feels substantial in hand, not cheap at all. Straight out of the box, you can tell it's a well-made shoe from the "Jordan series". Really sets a good first vibe.
