It's not trying to be the OG Chicago. It's its own thing – a accessible, wearable interpretation. For the price, you really can't go wrong. Give them a shot on-feet if you can! That's my genuine, on-camera review of this pair. The comfort on these is a real selling point. My feet didn't feel crushed at all. The Rare Air Jordan 1 uses a softer foam and a more flexible build. It's ideal if you find classic 1s too stiff. However, that softness means less support – not for ball, obviously, but even for long walks, your arch might want more. It's a lifestyle/comfort take on the legend. Alright, on feet – the rare air jordan 1 feels... familiar, but lighter. The tongue is different, which changes the ankle feel a bit. It's not as bulky as a standard AJ1, which I kinda like for all-day wear. The insole is basic, so don't expect crazy comfort. It's a lifestyle shoe, through and through. Now, the potential con? That bold color-blocking is a double-edged sword. This Rare Air Jordan 1 in the "White/Green-Yellow" colorway is "hard" to style for everyday wear. You really have to build an outfit around it. If you live in neutral tones, this might just sit in the box. It’s a "sometimes" shoe, not an everyday beater for most people.
