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. So, is it worth the $115? For me, yes. You're getting a piece of sneaker history in its most wearable form. Just go in with the right expectations: it's not the comfiest shoe ever, but it's one of the coolest. The "air jordan 1 low" just works. Let me know in the comments what you think of this model! Unboxing this ‘Bred’ colorway—"wow"—that black & red combo just pops. This "air jordan 1 low" has that iconic Jordan series silhouette, but obviously lower. On foot, it’s light and the ankle collar is "super" comfortable—no breaking in needed. The flat sole is great for all-day wear, though "not" for actual basketball. At $120, it’s a premium price for a lifestyle shoe. If you love the highs but want less bulk, these are it. Not for performance seekers, though. Comparing it to, say, a regular high-top Jordan 1? The 'Low' is obviously less restrictive at the ankle. It's more of a casual, everyday option. Versus other Jordan models with more tech? There's no contest - this is about heritage, not performance. For $100, you're paying for that iconic style.
