It's a "staple". Not the most exciting "performance" shoe, but a "legendary" lifestyle piece. For $110-$130, it's a justifiable purchase for your rotation. 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. 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. Slip these "Air Jordan 1 Low" kicks on... initial feel? They're snug. The ankle collar sits "low"—obviously—so support is "minimal". But for casual wear? Perfectly comfy. The midsole is firm, no Zoom or anything fancy. It's that classic AJ1 feel, just in a lighter, more "breezy" low-top package. A straight-to-the-point sneaker.
