It's accessible, versatile, and a piece of history. Who's it for? Daily drivers, casual collectors, anyone building a versatile rotation. Who should skip it? Performance basketball players or anyone needing maximum comfort. It’s a lifestyle icon, first and foremost. What's up, everyone? Just got these "Air Jordan 1 Low" 'Obsidian' in. Unboxing is always a vibe with this series. The color-blocking here is "clean" – that white and blue combo pops. On foot, the fit is true to size for me, with a snug – not tight – feel. Compared to a mid or high-top Jordan 1, you obviously lose some ankle support, but you gain a ton of versatility. Major pro? These are summer-staple easy. Con? The outsole is thin; you'll feel the pavement. I'd recommend them for style-focused folks, not for performance ball. Now, a real con? The cushioning is minimal. If you're used to modern, pillowy sneakers, you'll feel the difference. The insole is pretty basic. This isn't a shoe for long walks or standing all day, in my honest opinion. It's a style-first, comfort-second kind of model from a different era. Back to the materials. This specific 'UNC' blue pair feels pretty good! The leather is smooth, and the color pop is fantastic. For the "air jordan 1 low" price point (around $140 USD), I think the quality is fair. You're paying for the design and brand legacy, not necessarily top-tier materials. Stitching on my pair is clean - no major flaws. Overall, a well-made shoe for what it is. No unpleasant surprises in the build.
