If you're the type of guy who likes the Nike's with all those giant holes in the top toe portion of the shoe, I don't think I can help you. I guess try going for Nike Flights next time. Many different styles and colors, you can get them for $80 or less usually.

Honestly, how much are jordans? I see some online $30-40 and other models for $1000+

So when people say jordans I'm assuming they don't mean some clearance ass pair of jordan 19, 23 etc

Like which one do you want? Because you can have a green toe box jordan 1 with black trim be $250

But a white toe box with green trim be $29

Plus they have Jordans that aren't part of the officially numbered series. Any website will have a "Nike" tab, and then a separate tab specifically for "Jordans". The other Jordans are dope too, and are cheaper than the numbered Jordans, and then you find a pair in a colorway they have discounted, you could get a pair cheap as chips.

Jordan 1 Retro Highs are the most valued and most wanted, specifically retro colorways or collabs.

OG colorways like the Chicagos, Breds, Blacktoes, Shadows, Royals, etc. go for anywhere from $400 to $1800 because Nike refuses to manufacture more than like ten pairs and is fine with letting the bots feast on them.

Highs generally look better and are made of better materials but at the end of the day you're paying way too much for a shoe made of maybe $20 worth of materials and you're not even getting genuine leather. It's a scam and anyone who pays $1000+ for a pair of Chicagos is insane.
