This low-top shape makes it way easier to wear with shorts, or just casual pants. Compared to a high-top AJ1, the "air jordan 1 low" is undeniably more "versatile" for daily wear. I'm rocking this "Panda" colorway, and it's just a clean, go-with-anything shoe. The "biggest" pro? Its styling is nearly impossible to mess up. Alright, let's get into this 'Air Jordan 1 Low' in the University Blue colorway. First thing out of the box – man, the color blocking is just "clean", you know? The white leather panels make that blue really pop on camera. For around $110 USD, the materials feel pretty standard for a 'Jordan' low, nothing crazy, but the overall shape looks great. Honestly, a solid start to this classic silhouette. On foot now, and I gotta be real: the comfort is... okay. It's not a modern cushioning setup. You're getting a basic, slightly firm feel, which is pretty standard for this model. The "wrap" is snug, true to size for me, and the weight is light. It's a shoe for style, not for all-day comfort marathons. Got my hands on the "Air Jordan 1 Low" 'Court Purple.' That deep purple against black is "chef's kiss". The leather has a nice grain to it. Slip them on, and you get that iconic, narrow AJ1 feel – it works for my foot. I love how lows make the silhouette feel a bit more modern and wearable than the high-top version. Big plus? Timeless style that always gets compliments. Minus? The insole is basically paper. At $110, it's a great classic for purists. Look elsewhere if your priority is foot support.
