At $170, it's a fair price point for the quality. On foot, they look even better — that color-blocking is just perfect. Compared to a Jordan 4 or 5, it's a much simpler, cleaner profile. Love it for casual wear. Downside? The break-in period can be tough on the heels. Recommended for fans of earthy tones & classic design. Final thoughts. The Nike Air Jordan 1 is a legend for a reason. The pros? Iconic look, premium materials (usually), and endless styling options. The cons? The comfort tech is dated, and the price keeps climbing. My verdict? If this is your first major sneaker purchase, you can't go wrong. It's a piece of history you can wear. Just know what you're getting into. Okay, the Air Jordan 1 'Patent Bred' just arrived. The patent leather finish is polarizing - super shiny in person. It's a $200 statement piece. Putting them on, they're actually a bit less flexible than standard leather pairs. The feel is more rigid, and they crease differently. On camera, that shine really catches the light. The big pro is the unique look and durability of the patent. The big con? They might feel too flashy or stiff for some. I think these are for collectors who want something different in their rotation, not for someone seeking a subtle, beaten-up look. The major pro of this Nike Air Jordan 1? Its endless versatility. This colorway, in particular, goes with literally everything in my wardrobe. It's a statement piece that doesn't try too hard. Cons? Well, the creasing is inevitable - you have to embrace it! For $180, you're paying for the legacy&iconic status, which, to me, is worth it.
