It's a piece of history you can wear. The build quality on this release feels premium. However, if your main goal is supreme comfort for long walks or standing all day? Look at the Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT versions instead. This OG model is about aesthetic, first and foremost. Unboxing this 'Court Purple' "Nike Air Jordan 1"—the color is even richer in person. The build is consistent, stitching looks good. Sliding my foot in, the padding around the ankle is noticeable (in a good way). Compared to a Jordan 4, it's definitely less bulky on foot. Major pro is its versatility for both jeans and shorts. The potential downside? They crease. A lot. It's part of the charm, but if you're super obsessive about keeping kicks pristine, that might bug you. Still, a classic worth having. Final verdict? For $180, this 'University Blue' Air Jordan 1 is a great pickup. You're paying for the legacy, the look, and that unbeatable versatility. Is it the most comfortable shoe in my closet? No. But is it one of the most worn? Absolutely. It just works. 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.
