"Pro:" The style is unbeatable. Timeless. "Another pro:" The ankle support is great. "Con:" That break-in period can be tough. "Another con:" Not for wide feet, folks. The women's specific lasts can run narrow. It's a "love-it-or-hate-it" fit situation for some people. Now, the potential con - and it's a big one for some: the comfort (or lack thereof). If you're used to modern, plush sneakers (think Nike Invincible Run), the Women's Air Jordan 1 will feel like a brick. It's a flat, firm court shoe from the 80s. Break-in is real. Don't expect cloud-like softness here. Manage those expectations! Final verdict on this pair! This Women's Air Jordan 1 is a solid 8/10 for me. The pros: timeless design, quality build, goes with anything. Cons: break-in period, premium price point (~$180). I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a cornerstone sneaker in their closet. I would "not" recommend it as your only pair of shoes, or if you demand ultimate softness. It's a style piece, through and through – and a great one. Okay - let's get into this "Women's Air Jordan 1" in the 'University Blue' colorway. First off, the box was pristine, & the shoe itself? That leather quality is solid for a GR - not buttery-soft, but definitely clean. The color-blocking is "so" classic, you know? I paid around $180 USD, & my initial impression is... it's a timeless look. On foot, the fit is true to size - a snug, secure wrap around the midfoot which I love. The ankle collar, though? It can be stiff at first. If you're new to the Jordan 1 silhoutte, be ready for a break-in period. For a casual, style-first sneakerhead, this is a must. For someone seeking ultimate comfort? Maybe look elsewhere.
