Rare air jordan 1 : Comparing it directly to my '85 cut Jordan 1s [pz3ai56o]

.. the shape is different, more modern. The heel isn't as tall, the toe box is slightly roomier. It's a different vibe entirely. The Rare Air Jordan 1 isn't trying to be a retro—it's its own thing. And you know what? I appreciate that approach from the Jordan brand. Comparing it to my other Jordan 1s — the OGs are heavier, stiffer at first, and more restrictive. This "rare air" model is its own thing. It’s for comfort and a more low-key style. The "big" advantage here is the price — at around $120 USD, it’s an accessible entry into the Jordan series. The downside? It lacks that "OG" authenticity some collectors crave. For street style, the rare air jordan 1 is a winner—it elevates any outfit effortlessly! Unboxing it, the craftsmanship impressed me. On foot, the comfort is average; don't expect cloud-like feel. Priced around $190, it's a staple in the Jordan series. Ideal for sneaker lovers, but if you're on a budget, wait for sales. Comparing it to my other Jordan 1s? The rare air jordan 1 is like the streamlined cousin. It's not trying to be a retro re-release. The materials are different – think softer, tumbled leather versus the stiff OG cuts. If you want that 1985 feel, this isn't it. But for a fresh, modern twist on an icon? It works.
