Also, hardcore performance basketball players – obviously, look elsewhere. And if you only like the "original" high-top silhouette, the low version might feel like it's missing something. Is it worth the $150? For me, yes. You're paying for the iconic design, solid construction, and that Jordan Brand heritage. It's a piece of sneaker history in a more wearable form. I don't think you'll be blown away by tech, but as a style piece, it delivers. I'm really happy with this pickup. Who should maybe skip it? If ultimate, cloud-like comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Also, if you need ankle support or are buying for actual basketball, this isn't it. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more comfortable casual shoes at a lower price point. This is for style and heritage first. Now, for some real talk. The potential downside? The materials on this specific 'Infrared' version aren't premium. It's mostly synthetic nubuck. If you're used to buttery leathers on other Jordans, you might be a bit disappointed. Also, the cushioning tech is older. Don't expect modern, bouncy comfort. It's more about the look and the legacy with this one.
