Also, if you have a very wide foot, the break-in might be tough. And if you're on a tight budget and just want performance tech, the $210 price for a retro might not justify it for you. It's a style purchase, first. Now, a real con? The break-in period. The back of the collar, where the plastic tab is, can be brutal on your Achilles for the first few wears. Seriously, wear taller socks. Also, the creasing on the toe box leather is pretty inevitable. If you're super picky about keeping your sneakers pristine, that might bug you. It's part of the charm for me, but it's worth mentioning. Now, a real talk con: breathability. That grey mesh on the side? Mostly for show. Your feet will get warm. Also, the outsole is a flat rubber, so traction on wet surfaces isn't the best. It's a lifestyle shoe first. Don't ball in these expecting modern performance. Major pros? The style is undeniable—it's a legend. The support system is excellent; your foot isn't going anywhere. And for a retro, it's decently comfortable for all-day casual wear. The durability on these is usually pretty good, too. They can take a beating. Plus, that Nike Air branding on the back? Iconic. It's a piece of sneaker history you can actually wear.
