.. wow. The shiny finish is a love-it-or-hate-it thing. They feel sturdy, maybe a bit less flexible. On foot, they're definitely attention-grabbing. The $200 USD price tag is steep, but for a statement piece? Maybe. The biggest pro is the look; the con is that patent leather can crease in a noticeable way. Just a heads up! Just unboxed the "'Bred Patent'" version. Wow, that shiny red leather pops under the lights! However, that patent material "can" crease more noticeably. It's a sacrifice for the style. At around $200, this "Jordan 1" is a statement piece - perfect for collectors who want that extra flash. Alright, first look at this "Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid" in the "Shadow" colorway. The build quality is solid for the price point, which is under $130 USD. On foot, the ankle collar is a bit stiffer than the Highs, but break-in helps. The silhouette? Timeless. It's a fantastic, more affordable entry into the "Jordan series". Great for daily wear. However, sneaker purists might always prefer the High-top OG shape, just saying. 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.
