That’s the honest truth. The ankle collar provides great support, though, which I love for casual wear. It’s a stylish "tank", not a plush slipper. Worth it for the look? For me, yes. On-feet, this 'Black Toe' colorway is just "chef's kiss". It's so versatile. The contrast is sharp, and it goes with literally everything – jeans, joggers, you name it. The "Nike Air Jordan 1" just has that magic. My only gripe? The toe box creases... fast. It's part of the charm, I guess, but if you're a perfectionist about creases, maybe consider a sneaker shield. Checking out the details - the stitching on this pair is clean, & the leather tumbled nicely. You can feel the difference from some of the recent retro releases. For the Jordan series, the AJ1 High OG is the gold standard. Is it worth the price? If you appreciate the design and story, absolutely. If you just want a comfy sneaker? Probably not. So, would I recommend it? Yeah, but with clear expectations. The Nike Air Jordan 1 is a legend. You're buying the history, the look, the versatility. Just don't expect a cloud-like feel. For around $180, it's a fair price for a classic. If you want one pair that defines "sneaker," this is it. But know what you're getting into!
