Also, if you're all about the latest tech and performance features, the "Air Jordan 1 Low" will feel dated. It's a style-first, heritage shoe. That's its entire purpose. 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. Comparing it to the high-top "Air Jordan 1"? The "Low" is obviously way more low-profile and, honestly, more practical for daily wear in warmer weather. You lose some of that ankle presence, but you gain a lot in versatility. For $130 (depending on the colorway), it's a great entry point into the "Jordan" series if the highs feel like too much of a statement for you. For summer? The low-cut design of the "air jordan 1 low" is a winner. Lets your ankles breathe more than the highs. I grabbed this "Wolf Grey" pair for a lighter look. Cons? The toe box creasing is inevitable – it's part of the character. At this price point in the Jordan lineup, you accept some flaws for the iconic design.
