After wearing them for a bit, I appreciate the simplicity. They're a no-fuss, iconic shoe. Worth the $100-$120 USD price? For the style, yes. But honestly, if supreme comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere within the Jordan brand (maybe the 13s or something). These are for the style-first crowd who love that classic look. Let's compare it quickly. Versus an "Air Jordan 1 High", the Low is obviously more of a summer, casual-vibe shoe. You lose some of that classic, high-top drama, but you gain everyday wearability. Compared to modern Jordans with Zoom air? The "Air Jordan 1 Low" feels ancient, tech-wise. But sometimes, you just want that classic, simple feel on your feet, you know? Let's talk about this specific Air Jordan 1 Low 'OG' release. The shape & the leather quality here feel premium - you can see & feel the difference. Sliding these on, the padded collar is nice, but yeah, the footbed is firm. At ~$140, it's an investment in a classic. The style is unmatched for casual fits. However, if you have wide feet? This might be a tough wear. It's a sleek shoe, so it runs a bit narrow. Just something to keep in mind before you cop. Okay, immediate thoughts on these Air Jordan 1 Lows: they are "light". The 'Neutral Grey' version is super clean and minimal. Putting them on, the break-in period is practically non-existent, which is a huge plus. Compared to the AJ1 Highs, these are way easier to just slip on and head out. I'd say these are perfect for someone who loves the Jordan 1 look but wants something less restrictive. Just don't expect a performance basketball feel - it's a lifestyle shoe through and through.
