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, let's get into this 'Air Jordan 1 Low' in the University Blue colorway. First thing out of the box – man, the color blocking is just "clean", you know? The white leather panels make that blue really pop on camera. For around $110 USD, the materials feel pretty standard for a 'Jordan' low, nothing crazy, but the overall shape looks great. Honestly, a solid start to this classic silhouette. Finally, the “Black Satin” "air jordan 1 low". All-black-everything is always a mood. The satin finish on the wings logo is a nice detail. On foot, they’re as comfortable as any other Low—which is to say, fine for all-day wear. The monochrome look is super sleek & slimming on camera. Pro? It’s the ultimate low-key, goes-with-any-pants shoe. Con? They can look a bit plain if you love color. At $100 USD, it’s a fair price for a leather sneaker. My final take? This is a perfect “first” or “tenth” "air jordan 1 low"—great for minimalists. Not the move if you want your sneakers to be the center of attention. Comparing it to the high-top "Air Jordan 1"? The "Low" is obviously way more low-profile and, honestly, more practical for daily wear in warmer weather. You lose some of that ankle presence, but you gain a lot in versatility. For $130 (depending on the colorway), it's a great entry point into the "Jordan" series if the highs feel like too much of a statement for you.
