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. Who should "avoid" these? If you need modern, plush cushioning for all-day wear on your feet – this isn't it. 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. Unboxing this "Shadow" colorway... "wow", the materials actually feel a step up! The durabuck is nice. On foot, the "Air Jordan 1 Low" fits me perfectly TTS. The advantage here is the "insane" color blocking - it's so easy to style. Downside? The outsole is thin. I wouldn't hoop in these seriously. But for casual wear and style points? It's a 10/10 from me. Let's talk about wearing these Air Jordan 1 Lows. I went with the 'Shadow' colorway, and it's a stealthy, go-with-anything option. The ankle collar is low—so freedom of movement is great. However, that means less ankle support / lock-down than a High top. That's the trade-off! The insole is pretty standard. I dig it for its sleek look, but if you need structure for sports? This isn't the tool for that job. For style points? Absolutely.
