Also, if you're not into high-tops or the more "stiff" break-in period, consider other models. For $180, you want to be sure you'll love the style. It's not a performance shoe at all - strictly for casual wear. Unboxing the WMNS Air Jordan 1 'Elephant Print' edition. Wow - that print is bold in person! Materials feel interesting, a mix of smooth leather and that textured print. On foot, they're definitely a statement piece. Fit is standard AJ1: snug, secure, break-in required. The look is everything here - you either love it or hate it. Compared to a plain AJ1, these have way more personality. Pro: Unique design that stands out. Con: Not for the faint of heart, and harder to style daily. At this price, it's a niche pick. Great for collectors wanting something different, not ideal for your first/only pair of 1s. Who is this shoe "for"? Honestly, the "wmns Air Jordan 1" is for the collector, the style-focused wearer, or anyone building a foundation of iconic sneakers. It's a piece of history. It's for people who appreciate the story behind the Jordan series. Who is it "not" for? Hardcore comfort seekers, or folks who need all-day support for being on their feet. It's a fashion and culture piece first, a performance shoe second (or third, at this point). Just got these in: the WMNS Air Jordan 1 'Lost & Found' inspired look. Opening the box, the cracked leather and vintage details are "really" well executed here - seriously impressive. Sliding them on, the fit is snug (I went true to size) and the overall feel is... premium. They look even better on camera, that distressed aesthetic pops. Versus a standard Jordan 1, the materials on this version are a noticeable step up. Love the storytelling. Downside? The $190 price tag is steep for some, and the style might be too "loud" for minimalists. A must for collectors, easy pass for daily beaters.
