Now, who might NOT love these? If you need plush, cloud-like cushioning for all-day wear, look elsewhere. The "air jordan 1 low" is pretty basic in the comfort department. Also, if you have wider feet, the fit can be snug - maybe go half a size up. And some purists might miss the iconic high-top look. It's not for everyone, and that's okay! I'm just giving you my honest take. Checking out this premium leather version of the "air jordan 1 low". The unboxing experience is nicer, you can feel the difference.

The price hike for just better leather. If you love the AJ1 Low silhouette and want a "nicer" version, go for it. If you just want the look, the standard $110 pair does the job.
