I'm reviewing the 'University Blue' pair, and the colors really pop on camera. First impression out of the box was positive—solid construction, no flaws. The on-foot experience is classic AJ1: a flat, stable base. It’s not a squishy ride, but it’s reliable. Compared to the Mid version, the OG Low has a much better shape and materials. I love it for its simplicity and history. At $130, it's a fair price for what it is. I'd recommend it to anyone building a versatile sneaker rotation. If you have wide feet, maybe go half a size up for comfort. Let's talk durability. The materials on this OG version feel more substantial than some of the retro lows. After a few wears, the creasing is minimal. A major "pro" is the simplicity—easy to clean, easy to style. The con? That flat, basic insole. An upgrade there would’ve been nice for "$130". On foot, the silhouette just "works". The 'Black Toe' blocking on this pair is so clean, and the slightly higher cut around the ankle compared to some other Lows makes a big difference visually. It's a sleek, timeless look. Wearing these with jeans or shorts? It's an instant classic outfit. The "Air Jordan 1 Low OG" really proves that simple design is often the best design. Comparing it to my other Jordans… The Air Jordan 1 Low OG is way more everyday-friendly than a bulky Jordan 4. It's also more true-to-origin than some of the more modernized Low models. The main advantage? That legendary silhouette. The downside for performance? Zero – this isn't a basketball shoe anymore, it's a lifestyle icon. Keep your expectations in check for actual sport.
