The AJ1 is noticeably lighter & less bulky on foot. The break-in period is also shorter, in my experience. However — and this is key — the cushioning in a Jordan 4 is way more substantial. So, if all-day comfort is your #1 priority, maybe look at later models. But for pure, iconic style? The AJ1 wins. In summary – my final take? I really like this WMNS Air Jordan 1. The pros: iconic design, fantastic versatile colors, and great build quality. The cons: the firm ride and potential break-in. It’s a strong 8/10 for me – as a style piece. For $180, it feels like a fair price in today’s market for a leather sneaker of this caliber. Let's talk design in real life. This 'wmns air jordan 1' colorway is super versatile. On camera & in person, the materials have a nice sheen. It's a classic for a reason! The downside? That iconic high-top can be stiff at the ankle initially. I’d recommend these for collectors or style-first wearers, but maybe not for folks who prioritize "ultimate" comfort above all. For my personal take? I'm really digging this pair. As someone who owns several AJ1s, this "wmns Air Jordan 1" in this color fills a specific niche in my collection—it's a clean, wearable classic. Is it the most comfortable shoe in my closet? Absolutely not. But sometimes, you just want that unbeatable silhouette and legacy on your feet.
