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. First impression out of the box? The materials on this Air Jordan 1 Low pair are decent – not amazing, but definitely good for the price point. On foot, they feel snug and secure; the fit is classic Jordan 1. Visually, this low-top version is a bit more understated than the highs, which I actually prefer for daily rotation. A clear pro is the sheer number of colorways available in this model. A potential con is the lack of arch support for some foot types. For about $100 USD in the Jordan series, it's a no-brainer if you want a versatile beater. Not for folks wanting plush, modern comfort, though. 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. Alright, so I just got these "Air Jordan 1 Lows" in the "Shadow" colorway in hand. The leather feels decent for the $120 price tag. On foot? They're "super" comfortable right out of the box... The classic low-top silhouette just works with everything. Honestly, a solid daily driver if you're looking for a versatile sneaker that doesn't scream for attention.
