That stiff leather can rub at the heel or pinky toe initially. It "does" get better, but the first few wears might be a bit... uncomfortable? Also, the flat traction is just okay on super slick surfaces. It's a casual/ lifestyle shoe first, remember that. Comparing it to other "Jordan" models is key. Versus a Jordan 4? The AJ1 is lighter and has a lower profile. Versus a Jordan 11? It's way less bulky. The "nike air jordan 1" sits right in that sweet spot of being noticeable but not overly technical. Its simplicity is its strength. For $180, you're paying for that legacy design. It's a cornerstone of any sneaker collection, hands down. On feet now! The "Air Jordan 1" is iconic, but let's be real - it’s not a modern comfort shoe. That’s the honest truth. The ankle collar provides great support, though, which I love for casual wear. It’s a stylish "tank", not a plush slipper. Worth it for the look? For me, yes. Opening this box, the Air Jordan 1 'Court Purple' just hits different. That color is vibrant - even better in natural light. At around $170, it's a solid entry point into the Jordan series. Slipping them on, the lockdown is excellent, but man, the sole is flat. You feel the court heritage. Wearing them, they elevate a simple jeans-and-tee look instantly. The quality is good for the price. However, if you have wide feet, this model might feel restrictive. I'd recommend these for style enthusiasts who appreciate bold colors, not for folks needing arch support.
