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 these Air Jordan 1 Low 'Black Toe'! First impression out of the box? The leather feels "pretty" solid for this price point – around $120 USD. The color blocking is just iconic, you know? That classic Jordan 1 silhouette in a low-top form is always a win. The red hits on the toe and collar... they really pop against the black and white. Straight up, a clean, timeless look. Let's talk about wearing these Air Jordan 1 Lows. I went with the 'Shadow' colorway, and it's a stealthy, go-with-anything option. The ankle collar is low—so freedom of movement is great. However, that means less ankle support / lock-down than a High top. That's the trade-off! The insole is pretty standard. I dig it for its sleek look, but if you need structure for sports? This isn't the tool for that job. For style points? Absolutely. On the flip side, who should "maybe" skip? If you need ultimate comfort for standing all day – like, you're a server or a nurse – there are better, more cushioned options. Also, hardcore ballers looking for a performance low-top: this isn't it. The traction and support are fine for casual use, but for serious hoops? Look at more modern Jordan lows built for that.
