It's a premium version of a legend. But if comfort is your #1 priority right out of the box, you might want to look at other models within the Jordan series that offer more modern cushioning. Just copped the wmns Air Jordan 1, and I gotta say, the craftsmanship is decent for the price point - $180 feels about right. The out-of-box stiffness is real, but that's part of the AJ1 DNA, in my opinion. They look incredible in photos and on foot, no doubt. Who are these for? Sneakerheads and style-focused folks. Who should skip them? People needing arch support or maximum comfort for long walks. Comparing this WMNS Air Jordan 1 to other Jordans - say, a Jordan 4 or a Jordan 5 - the difference in comfort is night and day. Those later models have more cushioning tech. This AJ1 is all about that iconic "style" and profile. It's lighter than a lot of the bulkier Jordans, though! If you prioritize that classic, clean aesthetic over max comfort, this is your lane. Alright, let's get into this! First impression out of the box? The "quality" on this "WMNS Air Jordan 1" is solid. The 'Particle Grey' colorway is clean & versatile. You're getting that classic AJ1 silhouette, which I always love. At around "$180 USD", it's standard for the series. The leather feels decent, not the "absolute" best, but it's good for a GR. A really nice, wearable start.
