The comfort? It's a retro, so don't expect ultra-boost levels 😅. But for a Jordan 5, it's good! The ankle collar gives nice support. The "wmns air jordan 5 retro blue bird" feels a bit bulky, but that's the classic design. Visually, that "Blue Bird" hue is way nicer in person than in pics, for real. Is it worth the $225? For a Jordan fan wanting a clean, wearable colorway? Yes. The materials justify the cost more than some other recent retros. But—and this is a big "but"—if you prioritize modern comfort above all else, you might be disappointed. This is a style & heritage pick first, a comfort shoe second. Keep that in mind. Comparing it to other Jordans, the 5's "tongue" and shark-tooth midsole details make it "stand apart". It's less chunky than a 4, more distinctive than a 1 in this colorway. The "blue" here is richer than the classic "Fire Red" scheme. It fills a specific "vibe" in a collection. I'm really impressed with how this women's release got such a "strong", classic color. Let's talk about wearing these. The "Blue Bird" colorway "actually" pops more on-foot than in the box. That icy blue sole? "Chef's kiss". They're statement shoes, for sure. Compared to my other Jordan 5s, the materials here feel premium & the graphic is a unique touch. However, they're a bit chunkier/heavier than, say, a Jordan 1. If you like a bold sneaker with history, you'll dig these.
