Nike air jordan 1 : So, I just got the 'University Blue' Air Jordan 1s in [cmvfttt8]

My first impression? That blue pops "way" more in person than in pictures. The leather is standard, not premium, but it's clean. Slip them on... and yeah, you feel that classic AJ1 support. It's not a plush shoe, though. If you want cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. For style points? 10/10. 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. The major pro of this Nike Air Jordan 1? Its endless versatility. This colorway, in particular, goes with literally everything in my wardrobe. It's a statement piece that doesn't try too hard. Cons? Well, the creasing is inevitable - you have to embrace it! For $180, you're paying for the legacy&iconic status, which, to me, is worth it. Okay, the Air Jordan 1 'Patent Bred' just arrived. The patent leather finish is polarizing - super shiny in person. It's a $200 statement piece. Putting them on, they're actually a bit less flexible than standard leather pairs. The feel is more rigid, and they crease differently. On camera, that shine really catches the light. The big pro is the unique look and durability of the patent. The big con? They might feel too flashy or stiff for some. I think these are for collectors who want something different in their rotation, not for someone seeking a subtle, beaten-up look.
