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 got these in the mail. It's the "Air Jordan 1 Low" "Elephant Print" - a fun take on a classic. The print quality is _actually_ pretty good in-hand. Putting them on... wow, the visual impact is strong. They're a statement piece. Comfort-wise, it's the standard AJ1 Low experience: break-in needed. Compared to a plain pair, these have way more personality. Great for sneakerheads wanting something different. Not so great if you prefer subtle styles. For $130, I think they're a cool pickup for the collection. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 1 Low" lacks the "gravitas" of the High. It's "more" casual, "less" formal. The Dunk Low has a "slightly" different shape—toe box is roomier. But this AJ1 Low has that "undeniable" heritage. For "pure" Jordan branding in a summer-friendly form, it wins. Just unboxed the Air Jordan 1 Low 'University Blue'. That blue pops against the white leather! Sizing tip: they fit TTS for me. Walking around, the outsole grip is good for daily use. The main advantage of this low-top model is its versatility in outfits – it's less "sporty" than a High. Downside? The toe box creases pretty easily. Still, a great entry into the Jordan series.
