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. Pulling out these "Nike Air Jordan 1" 'Court Purple'. Wow — that purple really pops against the black! Construction feels solid, no major flaws. Wearing them, you immediately feel that iconic high-top support. It's the same fit I remember from years ago. Pro: Timeless design that gets compliments. Con: Arch support is minimal. At ~$180, it's an investment in a statement piece. Ideal for sneakerheads wanting a bold color. Not ideal if you need orthopedic-level comfort. First impression on foot? That iconic crease along the toe box—it's gonna happen, and fast. Embrace it. It's part of the Jordan 1's character. The fit is true to size for me, with a snug wrap. It's not a heavy shoe, which is nice. You feel connected to the ground. It's a "raw" basketball shoe feel, just like the '80s. Alright, first look at this "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" in the "Shadow" colorway. The build quality is solid for the price point, which is under $130 USD. On foot, the ankle collar is a bit stiffer than the Highs, but break-in helps. The silhouette? Timeless. It's a fantastic, more affordable entry into the "Jordan series". Great for daily wear. However, sneaker purists might always prefer the High-top OG shape, just saying.
