Right out of the box, you notice the unique texture - it's a nice detail. Sliding them on, the fit is standard. They're definitely a head-turner. The upper feels a bit more flexible than the usual all-leather pair. Advantage: stands out in a crowd. Disadvantage: might be harder to style for some. Priced at $125, it's for the person who already has a few basic Lows and wants something with a twist. Simple as that. Comparing this to other Jordans? It's interesting. The Air Jordan 1 Low sits in a unique spot. It's more accessible (and often more affordable) than many retros. Versus something like a Jordan 4? It's way lighter and less bulky.
