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. What's up, everyone? Just got these "Air Jordan 1 Low" 'Obsidian' in. Unboxing is always a vibe with this series. The color-blocking here is "clean" – that white and blue combo pops. On foot, the fit is true to size for me, with a snug – not tight – feel. Compared to a mid or high-top Jordan 1, you obviously lose some ankle support, but you gain a ton of versatility. Major pro? These are summer-staple easy. Con? The outsole is thin; you'll feel the pavement. I'd recommend them for style-focused folks, not for performance ball. On foot, the look is undeniable. This low-top shape makes it way easier to wear with shorts, or just casual pants. Compared to a high-top AJ1, the "air jordan 1 low" is undeniably more "versatile" for daily wear. I'm rocking this "Panda" colorway, and it's just a clean, go-with-anything shoe. The "biggest" pro? Its styling is nearly impossible to mess up. The "pure" white pair of the "Air Jordan 1 Low" is a "beast" for customization. That's a huge pro. But here's the real talk: the leather can crease pretty easily, and it's not the softest. You gotta be okay with that "lived-in" look. For a sneakerhead who loves beaters, it's perfect. If you're super precious about keeping kicks mint, maybe think twice. It's part of the charm, though!
