The suede details are "really" nice in person—a big step up from the standard all-leather versions. On foot, they're breathable and lightweight. Compared to a bulkier Jordan 4... these are a dream for all-day wear. Major pro: killer looks. Con: that suede will need some babying if you live in a rainy area. Alright, so I just got this pair of "Air Jordan 1 Lows" in the 'Black Toe' colorway. First impression out of the box? Man, the leather feels pretty decent for the price - we're talking about $110 USD here. It's that classic, clean silhouette, you know? It's instantly recognizable as a "Jordan" classic, but in a low-top form. Super easy to just grab and go. Final thoughts? If you love the AJ1 "silhouette" but find the Highs too hot or restrictive, the "Air Jordan 1 Low" is your answer. It's a "staple". Not the most exciting "performance" shoe, but a "legendary" lifestyle piece. For $110-$130, it's a justifiable purchase for your rotation. On foot feel – it’s firm. Don't expect Cloud-like comfort. You get basic cushioning and a flat, stable ride. I actually like that for walking around the city; it’s secure. The break-in period is real, though. After a few wears, they mold to your foot nicely. Compared to modern lifestyle shoes, it’s barebones, but that’s part of its charm. You’re wearing a classic.
