That / stiff/ midsole I mentioned? It's a deal-breaker for some. If you're on your feet all day, this isn't your / go-to/ for comfort. Also, the leather can be prone to noticeable creasing—which some love, but others hate. The red Air Jordan 1 is a lifestyle piece now, not a performance shoe. Just know what you're signing up for: iconic style over cloud-like comfort. Final "verdict"? I'm really into this pair. The $190 price is "standard" now for a Jordan 1 High. It's a "strong" addition to the Jordan series lineup. The "pros" – iconic look, great versatility – far outweigh the "cons" of the break-in period for me. Would I "recommend" it? Absolutely, if you love the model and this color. On foot, the silhouette of this "Jordan 1" is just... perfect. The way the red wraps around the toe & heel? "Chef's kiss". It's a shoe that looks great from every angle, which is huge for photos & videos. Compared to some newer, more experimental "Jordan series" designs, this is pure, unfiltered sneaker heritage. If you want a shoe that'll always look relevant in your collection, this red colorway is a safe—but exciting—bet. Okay, first thoughts on this "new" red Air Jordan 1? The box is crisp. Opening it up, the leather smells great and that classic color-blocking just "pops". We're talking a bright, vibrant red - not a dark crimson. At $180, the initial build quality seems solid. You're paying for that iconic Jordan 1 silhouette and the history. My first impression? It's a clean, classic shoe, exactly what you'd expect.
