It fills a specific niche: a reliable, good-looking sneaker you don't have to baby. The 'Neutral Grey' colorway is "incredibly" easy to match. The downside? It can feel a bit narrow. If you have wider feet, maybe consider going half a size up. Alright, let's get into this pair right here, the "Air Jordan 1 Low OG" in the 'Chicago' color blocking. Man, unboxing these is pure nostalgia. The build quality feels solid, that classic leather has a nice grain to it. Honestly, on feet? They're exactly what you'd expect from an OG 1: a bit firm initially, but the fit is just perfect for my true size—not too tight, super easy to slide on/off. If you want that iconic look in a more casual, breathable low-top package, this is it. For $130 USD, it’s a no-brainer for collectors & daily wearers. Just don’t expect modern cushioning, okay? Side-by-side with a 2023 Air Jordan 1 High? The Low OG profile is sleeker. I'm looking at this 'Shadow' version, and the craftsmanship is good for the $130 USD price tag. On-foot, the break-in period is shorter than the Highs. The flexibility is a major plus. The advantage here is pure lifestyle wear - easier to put on, pairs with anything. The drawback? You lose that iconic High-top look. So, if you love the Jordan 1 but find Highs cumbersome, this Low OG is your answer. Simple. Alright, let's unbox these Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Neutral Grey's. First thing I noticed? That classic, clean silhouette is just "perfect". The leather feels nice - not super premium, but solid for a $130 retail shoe. Pulling them out, the shape is on point; it's that true, slightly bulkier OG cut we love. This is a timeless look, no doubt. For folks who want a simple, wearable Jordan 1 Low OG, this is it. But if you're after crazy materials, maybe look elsewhere.
