The box felt heavy—good sign. Unwrapping them, the craftsmanship on this OG version is noticeable. On feet, the fit is secure, but let's be real: the cushioning is basic. You're not buying these for a "cloud-like" ride. Visually, though? "Chef's kiss". They pop on camera. Compared to a Mid, the High's collar just looks more authentic. Worth the $180? For a staple colorway, absolutely. For pure performance? Nah. Just got my hands on the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Fearless' in that zoom air variant. First off, the materials feel different – more technical? On foot – whoa – that Zoom unit in the sole is a game-changer for comfort compared to a standard Jordan 1. It's bouncy! The look is chunkier, though, which some purists might not love. So, pro: Revolutionary comfort for a Jordan 1. Con: The silhouette is a bit divisive. At around $150 USD, it's perfect for someone who loves the AJ1 style but craves modern cushioning. Traditionalists, stick with the OG. My immediate thought unboxing the Air Jordan 1 'Taxi'? That yellow is vibrant! It just screams. This shoe, like most in the Jordan series, is built well. On foot, it's snug in the best way—my foot doesn't slide around at all. For $180 USD, you get a timeless design. The clear pro is the color—it's a happy, energetic shoe. The con is that it might be too loud for some people's personal style or work environment. I'd say this is for the extroverts, the ones who want to stand out. If you prefer to fly under the radar with your footwear, this isn't your guy. Simple as that. On foot now—initial thoughts? The fit is true to size for me, with a snug, secure lockdown around the midfoot. Is it the most comfortable sneaker ever? "Honestly?" Not really. The cushioning is firm, typical for a "Nike Air Jordan 1". But that's part of its charm; it’s stable. If you want pillowy softness, look elsewhere. For style points? Unbeatable.
