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. Who should "maybe" skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers, or people needing arch support. Also, if you're after the most "authentic" Jordan 1 experience, some purists will always argue for the High top version. The Air Jordan 1 Low is a lifestyle shoe first, performance second (or let's be real, not at all). Let's talk about the not-so-great stuff, because no shoe is perfect, right? The main con for some people will be the cushioning. It's firm – not "uncomfortable," but you feel the ground. If you're used to React or Boost, this will feel different (and maybe a bit stiff). Also, some colorways use smoother leather that can crease easily. It's a natural look, but if you're super picky about that... just a heads-up! Just unboxed these Air Jordan 1 Lows in the classic 'Black Toe' colorway—and man, that iconic silhouette just hits different. The leather feels "decent" for this $110 USD price point. Sliding them on, the fit is snug / true-to-size. Look, it's not a cloud-like feel—that's not what this shoe is about. It's a flat, classic basketball court feel. For daily wear? Perfect. If you want max comfort tech, maybe look elsewhere. But for style & legacy? This is it.
