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). Material check on this specific pair: the "Elephant Print" edition. The textures are cool in-hand, but durability...? Only time will tell. The "air jordan 1 low" platform is proven, though. It’s a flat, stable base. A major "pro" is the sheer number of colorways – there's literally one for every taste in the Jordan series. On-feet review time: The weight is nice and light, which I love for a low-top. The heel Air unit provides "just enough" cushion for walking around. Compared to some modern lifestyle shoes, the "Air Jordan 1 Low" is less padded, but that's part of its classic charm. Alright, let's talk about this new "Air Jordan 1 Low" 'Shadow' release. My first impression? The materials feel a step up from some GR lows – the grey suede is nice! Sliding them on, the break-in period is real; they're a bit rigid initially. Visually, this low-top version of a classic high colorway is "fire" for a minimalist wardrobe. It’s a great, understated piece from the Jordan series. Downside? That classic Jordan 1 comfort – or lack thereof – is present. Worth the $120 if you love the palette. Skip if you need plush cushioning.
