It's a "staple". Not the most exciting "performance" shoe, but a "legendary" lifestyle piece. For $110-$130, it's a justifiable purchase for your rotation. 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. Now, the potential con – the comfort, or lack thereof, for some. If you're used to modern, engineered knit uppers and super-soft midsoles, the "Air Jordan 1 Low" might feel stiff and unforgiving. It's a flat, firm ride. It's not a performance shoe or a all-day-walking shoe for everyone. You're buying it for the look and legacy, first and foremost. Final verdict? For me, it's a yes. I own several pairs of the "Air Jordan 1 Low". They're my go-to "I don't know what to wear" shoe. Are they the most comfortable? No. But the look, the history, and the sheer versatility make them worth the $110-$120 for a solid colorway. It's a certified classic.
