The优点? Iconic style you can wear for years. The drawback? If you prioritize cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. This is for style purists, not comfort chasers. Comparing it to other Jordans? This Red Air Jordan 1 is the blueprint. A Jordan 4 or 5 is way more comfortable from day one. The pros here are obvious: iconic look, versatile style, and durable build. The con?
