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. I’ve been wearing these 'University Blue' Air Jordan 1 Lows for a week now. The color? "Chef's kiss" – pops just right. Compared to my AJ1 Highs, the ankle freedom is a game-changer for summer. Big pro: ultimate versatility with shorts or jeans. Con? That stiff outsole needs a short break-in. Still, a great pick-up. Now, the not-so-great part: that break-in period. The stiff collar "can" rub against your ankle at first - it's a common gripe. If you need plush, cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. This shoe is about form "over" function in that department. It's a trade-off you need to be aware of. Unboxing the ‘Starfish’ orange "air jordan 1 low" — this color is crazy vibrant, even more so on camera. Initial quality check: everything looks good. When I put them on, the fit was TTS with a nice, locked-in heel. The big pro is they’re a total summer vibe. The possible con? Such a bright color limits your outfit choices. It’s a fun, statement shoe from the Jordan series for about $110. Ideal for sneakerheads wanting color, not for minimalists.
