People who want a style staple that works with 90% of their wardrobe. If you love classic basketball silhouettes and don't mind a firm ride, the "Nike Air Jordan 1" is a must-have. It's a piece of sneaker culture you can wear. 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. Finally, the Air Jordan 1 Low 'OG'. For $100 USD, this is a no-brainer for summer. The low-top version loses the ankle lockdown, so it's a much more casual, slip-on vibe. The quality is decent for the price. Pros: affordable, classic look, breathable. Cons: less support, and the materials won't match a High OG. Perfect for someone wanting the AJ1 style without the high-top commitment. 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.
