It's simple, it's effective, and it carries that Jordan legacy. It's not the most exciting release, but it's a workhorse for your rotation. Would I buy it? For the right colorway, absolutely. It's a classic. Now, the not-so-great part: that break-in period. The stiff collar "can" rub against your ankle at first - it's a common gripe. If you need plush, cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. This shoe is about form "over" function in that department. It's a trade-off you need to be aware of. First lace-up of the "Air Jordan 1 Low" 'Starfish' and I'm digging the vibrancy. The comfort is "fine" - it's a flat, firm ride, which I don't mind for short walks. The real win is the silhouette; it's arguably "more" wearable for most people than the high-top. Who's it for? Anyone wanting a piece of Jordan series history in a low-profile package. Not for comfort-seekers. 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.
