It's a messy, artsy look that I actually dig! For ~$180 USD, it's a statement piece. Fit is TTS, with that typical snug forefoot. What I like? It's different from your standard red/black/white "Jordan 1". What might turn people off? The distressed look isn't for everyone. Perfect for someone wanting to stand out in the "Jordan series". After wearing these for a bit, I appreciate the design even more. The high collar gives ankle support – or at least the feeling of it. They're true to size for me. The outsole grip is fine for everyday. But let's be real, you're not hooping in these seriously. You buy the "nike air jordan 1" for the culture, the flex, the history. And that's okay. Who is this for? Honestly, for almost any sneaker fan. The Air Jordan 1 is a must-have in "some" colorway. It's for collectors, for style-focused folks, for people who appreciate the roots of the Jordan series. If you need just one "hype" shoe, this is a contender. 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.
