That blue & black contrast is just "chef's kiss". Opening the box, the leather has a nice sheen. Sizing? I'd say go TTS — they mold to your foot over time. Compared to other Jordans, the 1 is always about that flat, stable ride. Major pro: unmatched style & history. Con: they can feel heavy & rigid. Worth the $170? If you're building a sneaker collection, absolutely. For pure comfort seekers, maybe not. On feet, walking around? You feel the history. Compared to a modern Jordan like the 36, it's night and day – the AJ1 is heavier, more rigid. But that's not a bad thing! It's a stable, grounded feel. The leather will crease, that's just part of the story. For $180? You're buying a piece of sneaker culture, not a performance beast. It's a trade-off. 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. Final, real talk. I love my "Jordan 1s". They're comfortable "enough" for casual wear. The high-top provides good ankle support – a clear "advantage". But that flat footbed? It's a drawback for long days. My advice: if you appreciate heritage and style over cutting-edge tech, cop a pair. If comfort is your #1 priority, maybe look at the Jordan 13 or something more modern.
