You lose some of that ankle presence, but you gain a lot in versatility. For $130 (depending on the colorway), it's a great entry point into the "Jordan" series if the highs feel like too much of a statement for you. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 1 Low" lacks the "gravitas" of the High. It's "more" casual, "less" formal. The Dunk Low has a "slightly" different shape—toe box is roomier. But this AJ1 Low has that "undeniable" heritage. For "pure" Jordan branding in a summer-friendly form, it wins. The "biggest" advantage? Versatility. I can wear these "Air Jordan 1 Low" sneakers with jeans, shorts, "even" chinos. They're "lightweight" and super easy to put on. The "downside?" That flat insole gets tiring on all-day walks. I'd suggest swapping in a better one "for sure". Yo, what’s up everyone? So, I just unboxed these "Air Jordan 1 Low" in the 'Sail' colorway, & I’m really impressed with the materials here. The leather feels nice & supple. Sliding them on, the fit is TTS (true to size) for me, with a snug, secure wrap. Compared to the OG high-tops, this low version is obviously lighter & "way" easier to just slip on & go. It’s a perfect summer sneaker. Major pro: its clean, minimalist look. Con? That white midsole will get dirty fast if you’re not careful.
