The high-top locks your ankle in. They’re not heavy, but you feel their presence. The outsole grip is decent on dry surfaces. Honestly, for a day of running errands or hanging out, the red Air Jordan 1 performs perfectly. It’s a lifestyle shoe through and through. My final take? I like them. The red air jordan 1 is a straight-forward, powerful release. It won't change the game, but it doesn't need to – it's a classic for a reason. Would I recommend paying resell? Probably not. But at or near retail? If you love the color and the model, it's a great pick-up. Just go in with the right expectations for comfort. Alright, let's unbox these. First impression? This "red Air Jordan 1" is just "clean". The "University Red" and white color-blocking is a classic, "no-doubt-about-it". The leather feels decent for the $170 price point—not the most "buttery-soft", but it has a nice grain. Holding it, the shape is iconic. For a Jordan series retro, it’s exactly what you expect: a timeless silhouette, ready to rock straight out of the box. On-camera, this shoe absolutely shines. The contrast of the red against the black swoosh and white midsole is just classic. It’s a colorway that works for unboxing content and on-foot shots. A clear pro is its visual impact. A con to note? At ~$180, it’s an investment for a shoe with older tech. Value is in the eye of the beholder.
