Lows. The Highs offer more ankle... presence, I guess? But these Lows, like this "Black Toe" pair, are just more wearable for most situations. They're less bulky, easier to pair with cropped pants or shorts. The feel on foot is nearly identical—firm. So, if you love the AJ1 style but find the Highs too restrictive, the Low is your perfect solution. A staple for any sneaker wardrobe. So, I just unboxed this new "Shadow" Air Jordan 1 Low, and I'm liking it. The grey & black suede/leather combo has great texture in hand. On feet, they're light & low-profile, way more casual than a high-top Jordan 1. The break-in is real, though - they can be stiff at first. For $120, you're paying for the iconic look & versatility. If you want a pillowy sneaker, look elsewhere. But for a clean, everyday shoe? This is a strong option. Now, the not-so-great part. The comfort, as I said, isn't for everyone – if you need a pillowy ride, look elsewhere. Also, some GR (General Release) pairs can have iffy leather quality... it's a bit of a lottery. And resale on hyped collabs? Forget about it. For a basic low-top, the $130+ USD price tag can feel steep for what you're getting "technically". Let me just say—the materials on this specific ‘Neutral Grey’ pair are impressive. The tumbled leather has a premium feel that "belies" the ~$115 USD price. The shape is on-point. Stepping into them, the break-in period is minimal. They're lightweight & unintrusive. It's a refined version of a classic. A definite win in my book.
