But if you appreciate sneaker history, want a low-maintenance, go-to pair, & don't mind a firm ride… this is a home run. It's a classic for a reason. Grab a colorway you love around that "$130 USD" mark, & you really can't go wrong. Thanks for watching—let me know your thoughts on this staple in the comments below Let's talk about the elephant in the room – comfort. Opening this "air jordan 1 low og", I didn't expect miracles. And yeah, it's a flat, firm basketball shoe from the 80s... in low form. The upper materials are nice, but the cushioning is minimal. The "huge" pro? The look is iconic and goes with literally everything in your closet. If you want a piece of sneaker history you can beat up, this is it. If you need modern, bounce-y comfort for long walks? This isn't your shoe. Simple as that. So, who's this for? If you're new to the "Jordan series" and want an affordable, iconic entry point—this is it. The "Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Black Toe'" is a perfect example. If you need maximum comfort tech, look elsewhere. But for style and heritage? It's a no-brainer. Let’s talk materials. On my pair of the "Shadow" "air jordan 1 low og", the leather is smooth but on the thinner side. It's not premium, but for "~$130", it’s what I expected. The stitching is clean, & the overall construction feels solid. A con? They can crease fairly easily across the toebox. If you're super precious about keeping shoes pristine, that might bug you. But personally? I think creases add character to a classic like this.
