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. On-feet review time: The weight is nice and light, which I love for a low-top. The heel Air unit provides "just enough" cushion for walking around. Compared to some modern lifestyle shoes, the "Air Jordan 1 Low" is less padded, but that's part of its classic charm. Let's talk about the "not-so-great" for a sec. The classic rubber midsole on the "air jordan 1 low" is firm. After a few hours, you might want to swap in a more supportive insole. It's also not the most breathable shoe. But – and it's a big but – its design is iconic. For "$110 USD", you're paying for the Jordan 1 legacy and that flawless look. Okay guys, so here's the "Air Jordan 1 Low" in the 'Black Toe' colorway. First off, the construction feels solid – you know, classic Jordan quality. The leather is decent, not super premium, but it's fine for the price point. Honestly? Putting them on, they feel... exactly like you'd expect. It's that familiar, slightly stiff feel from the '85 silhouette. They're "lightweight" and the collar sits nicely around the ankle. For $110, it’s a timeless look that goes with everything, but if you want modern comfort? Look elsewhere. Perfect for collectors of the Jordan series or casual wear.
