You lose some of that iconic ankle support, but you gain a ton of breathability and a different style. If you find Highs a bit restrictive, this Low version from the "Jordan series" is a great alternative for daily beats. On feet now, & my initial thought is: these are comfortable! They're not ultra-plush, but the cushioning is decent for a lifestyle shoe. The break-in is minimal, which is a huge plus. Compared to a standard AJ1 High, the "Air Jordan 1 Brooklyn Low" is obviously lighter & less restrictive around the ankle. It's perfect for warmer days or if you just prefer that low-cut feel. Alright, let's get into these! First off, the box is standard, but opening it up… the colors on this Air Jordan 1 Brooklyn Low really pop in person. That mix of white, university red, and black is just clean & classic. For around $120, you're getting a really solid, wearable colorway right out the gate. The materials feel good for the price-point, nothing crazy premium, but definitely sturdy. Major pros for the Air Jordan 1 Brooklyn Low? Versatility is #1. You can wear these anywhere. Secondly, it's a great entry into the Jordan brand - recognizable silhouette, classic colors, no crazy hype. Lastly, at this price point (again, roughly $140), it's a relatively accessible piece of the Jordan legacy. It's a practical sneaker, first and foremost.
