Quick Review: 2022 Air Jordan 1 “Heritage” | The Retro Insider

My Thoughts On The “Heritage” Air Jordan 1

I’m going to keep it 100 with you….I feel like Jordan Brand has been taking a few steps backwards here in 2022 when it comes to Jordan 1 colorways.

Don’t get me wrong, I still love the silhouette when they’re done “right”, but Jordan Brand has been missing the mark as of late with a lot of its releases – including this pair in my humble opinion.

When I first seen pre-release mockups of this shoe, I was put off mainly by the white toe-box. I wasn’t a fan of this style of color-blocking even when it was used on the Fragment x Travis Scott AJ1 highs.

On the flip side….As I see more on-foot images of the shoe on IG and people rockin’ them with their fits, I can say that the shoe is slowly growing on me a bit.

Growing on me enough to cop a pair? Not quite, but never say never.

By no means is this the worst AJ1 to release, it’s just not my cup of tea and could’ve been executed a lot better.
