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. Comparing it to the high-top "Air Jordan 1"? The "Low" is obviously way more low-profile and, honestly, more practical for daily wear in warmer weather. You lose some of that ankle presence, but you gain a lot in versatility. For $130 (depending on the colorway), it's a great entry point into the "Jordan" series if the highs feel like too much of a statement for you. Sliding these 'Air Jordan 1 Lows' on... immediate classic comfort. The break-in is minimal, which is a huge plus. Compared to a high-top, obviously, you lose some ankle lock, but the weight is nice and light for all-day wear. If you're looking for a super-cushioned 'Jordan' experience, though? This isn't it – the midsole is firm. But for style and casual wear, it's a winner. Alright, so I finally got my hands on these "air jordan 1 low" 'Black Toe's. First impression? The leather quality is solid for the $120 price point, and that classic silhouette just never gets old. On foot, they're what you expect - comfortable, but don't expect crazy cushioning. Honestly, if you love the high-top look but want something more casual and easier to wear, this is it. The only downside is that flat insole. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, these might feel a bit stiff. For style and heritage, though, it's a classic for a reason.
