It’s not trying to be the most tech-heavy shoe. If you want a piece of sneaker history that’s easy to wear, it’s a great pick. But if your main priority is all-day cloud-like comfort, you might want to look elsewhere. Alright, so I just got these "Air Jordan 1 Lows" in the "Shadow" colorway in hand. The leather feels decent for the $120 price tag. On foot? They're "super" comfortable right out of the box... The classic low-top silhouette just works with everything. Honestly, a solid daily driver if you're looking for a versatile sneaker that doesn't scream for attention. Now, the not-so-great stuff. The obvious con is the comfort, or lack of "modern" comfort. The insole is thin, the midsole is firm. If you're on your feet all day, you "might" want more support. Also, some colorways use stiffer leather that needs a break-in period. It's not a performance shoe, so manage those expectations with this Jordan 1 model. You guys asked for my thoughts on the new "Air Jordan 1 Low" "Elephant Print." Honestly? The materials are... "interesting". The faux print feels a bit plasticky. On-feet comfort is standard AJ1 Low fare—nothing plush, but definitely wearable. It's a statement piece. Love it or hate it... it'll definitely turn heads. Not for the minimalist sneakerhead, that's for sure.
