0'. The grey and black suede/nubuck combo is so classy and subtle - a perfect everyday sneaker. Quality on these is top-notch, no flaws I can spot. Wearing them, the weight is noticeable; they're a substantial shoe, which gives a premium feel. Compared to newer, lighter basketball sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 feels like a tank - in a good way. "Love" the durability and how they age gracefully. "Don't love" that they can feel heavy after a full day. For $170, if you want a durable, versatile staple that goes with everything, this is it. If you have a "lot" of walking in your day, consider something lighter. So, I'm lacing up this "Nike Air Jordan 1" 'Dark Mocha'... and wow, the brown tones are so versatile. First thing I noticed was the softer leather on this pair—a nice surprise. On-foot feel is the standard AJ1 experience: secure, stable, but you feel the pavement. It sits perfectly between a dress shoe and a sneaker. Priced like most High OGs (~$180 USD), it's an investment. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a mature, stylish sneaker. Not for the performance-focused athlete, obviously. Conversely, who should "skip" it? If you need arch support or have serious foot sensitivity, this probably isn't your daily driver. Also, if you're tired of seeing the same silhouette everywhere – because let's face it, the Jordan 1 is "everywhere" – then exploring other Jordan series models might be more exciting for you. 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.
