Q&A Can You Ball In Air Jordan 1's?

The Air Jordan 1 Construction

—

Let’s first dive into the construction of the Air Jordan 1. The base layer on the high-profile sibling — the only variation MJ himself used to ball in — is fully comprised of leather fabrications and the bottom piece features minimal Air cushioning inside its midsole. While this may be enough to keep you somewhat supported during play, they don’t compare to the flexibility and sole support of today’s Nike Basketball signature sneakers. For example, a model such as say, the LeBron 17, beats out the Air Jordan 1 by a long shot in terms of performance capabilities. They’re constructed with Knitposite base layers, which is a lightweight Flyknit fabric forged with heat-moulded yarns that adds durability, support, and the ability resist stretching. Moreover, they’re loaded up with a duo of Zoom Air pods for far better responsiveness.
