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. Finally, the "Chicago" "Air Jordan 1 Low". The heritage is undeniable. Putting them on gives you that iconic vibe without the height of the OG. The leather is stiff at first but will mold to your foot. Is it worth it? For a classic colorway at a lower price point than the Highs... "absolutely". It's perfect for collectors and casual fans alike. Just don't expect cloud-like comfort. 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. Final verdict on the Air Jordan 1 Low 'Dark Powder Blue'? A clean, wearable everyday shoe. The quality is consistent, and they break in nicely. They’re more comfortable than AJ1 Highs, in my opinion. Pro: incredible versatility. Con: very common – you'll see a lot of people in them. Great first Jordan, but hardcore collectors might want something rarer.
