The leather has a nice sheen to it. Putting them on... yeah, it’s a break-in period. They’re not uncomfortable, just firm. Compared to some retro Jordans, this low-top version is arguably more practical for daily life. Pro: Timeless design that always gets compliments. Con: The outsole traction isn't the greatest on wet surfaces. For $100-$120, it’s a fair price for a piece of sneaker history you can actually wear daily. Got my hands on the "Air Jordan 1 Low" 'Court Purple.' That deep purple against black is "chef's kiss". The leather has a nice grain to it. Slip them on, and you get that iconic, narrow AJ1 feel – it works for my foot. I love how lows make the silhouette feel a bit more modern and wearable than the high-top version. Big plus? Timeless style that always gets compliments. Minus? The insole is basically paper. At $110, it's a great classic for purists. Look elsewhere if your priority is foot support. Final verdict from me? For the 'Atmosphere Grey' colorway I have here, it's a yes. The quality is consistent, the muted colors are super wearable, and the Air Jordan 1 Low silhouette is just a wardrobe staple. It's not the most exciting shoe tech-wise in 2024, but for pure, effortless style? It's still incredibly hard to beat. A solid pickup for your rotation. Who should maybe skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers, 100%. Also, if you need a shoe for actual basketball or long walks? Nope. The tech here is decades old. And if you already have multiple Jordan 1 Lows, this is just another colorway—unless you "really" love this specific palette.
