' Opening these, the pastel suede/nubuck is nice but requires careful maintenance. Retail is $120 USD. Slipping them on, they're comfortable right out of the box for a low-top. The color is softer in person than in promo pics—very wearable. Compared to an all-leather AJ1 Low, these feel a bit more premium. Pro: unique, summer-friendly color blocking. Big con? That light suede is a stain magnet. Only get these if you're ready to baby your kicks. The main "pro" of the "Air Jordan 1 Low"? Its pure versatility. This shoe, in a neutral color like this 'Shadow' Grey, literally matches 90% of my closet. It’s a style chameleon. The low-top profile makes it less of a “statement” than the High, which – for an everyday shoe – is a huge advantage. It’s just effortless. So, this is the "air jordan 1 low" 'Elephant Print' version. The print texture in-hand is actually really cool & adds a unique twist. At ~$140 USD, it's a slight premium. On-foot feel is identical to other Jordan 1 Lows—firm, supportive, break-in required. The design does all the talking here. Pro: you get a iconic silhouette with a fresh, detailed pattern. Con: the print might not be for purists who love the OG clean looks. I'd say these are for collectors or those wanting something different in their lineup. On foot, this 'Chicago' colorway "pops"! The red, white, and black is just timeless. I love how the "Air Jordan 1 Lows" look with jeans or shorts – they're incredibly versatile style-wise. Compared to the Highs, they're obviously less restrictive and have a different vibe. The leather on this specific release feels pretty good, better than some GRs (General Releases). A definite win for summer fits!
