Those are more about tech and cushioning. The Air Jordan 1 is about heritage and style. It's lighter and more low-profile than those. If you want modern performance, look elsewhere. But if you want a piece of history you can wear? This is it. Now, the potential con: break-in time. That stiff leather can rub at the heel or pinky toe initially. It "does" get better, but the first few wears might be a bit... uncomfortable? Also, the flat traction is just okay on super slick surfaces. It's a casual/ lifestyle shoe first, remember that. After wearing them all day, my take is simple. They're not the comfiest shoes in my collection, not even close. But every time I look down? I smile. That's the magic of this design. It just works. It's a foundation shoe for any rotation. A solid cop. Now, the real talk – potential cons. The Nike Air Jordan 1 can be uncomfortable for long walks; that flat, firm midsole isn't for everyone. The leather can also crease easily, which some people hate. And at around $180-$200, you're not getting modern performance tech. It's an investment in style, not necessarily in foot comfort.
