I went with a basic 'Black/White' colorway. First thing I noticed on foot? They’re incredibly light, which is a nice change from some bulkier Jordans. The look on-camera is clean – that low-top profile works really well. Compared to an AJ1 Mid, the shape feels a bit sleeker. Pro: ultimate everyday wearability. Con: the outsole is pretty flat, so not the best for all-day standing. It's a perfect shoe for casual outings, but maybe not for your 12-hour work shift. Now, the not-so-great stuff. 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. 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. Okay, immediate thoughts: the shape of this Air Jordan 1 Low is looking really good lately – Nike's been getting it right. On feet, the comfort is what it is: simple, reliable, no surprises. They feel great for walking around the city all day. Styling-wise, this low-top is a summer essential, way easier to rock with shorts than the high version. A major pro is the durability – these things can take a beating. A minor con is they can feel a bit narrow initially. Priced accessibly in the Jordan family, I recommend them as a first Jordan or a daily driver. Not the move if you're after cutting-edge foam or energy return.
