But if you have a wider foot, you might appreciate going up half a size. The materials don't have a ton of give initially. After a couple wears, they break in nicely. Just something to consider before you click "checkout" on that $125 purchase. Comparing it to other Jordans? It's lighter and more breathable than a high-top AJ1, obviously. Versus a Jordan 1 Mid? The silhouette is cleaner, more premium in my opinion. This specific 'University Blue' air jordan low 1 has buttery smooth leather that really elevates it. It just feels a step above your average GR Mid release, you know? For anyone debating between mids and lows, here’s my take. The "Air Jordan Low 1" offers a different vibe — it’s less restrictive, more breathable for warmer days. The silhouette looks great from every angle on camera, too. The 'White Cement Grey' pair I got for $135 is super easy to style. Honestly, if you own a lot of high-tops, adding a low is a smart move for variety. Now, the not-so-great part? That firm ride I mentioned. If you're used to Boost or React cushioning, the Air Jordan 1 Low will feel flat and stiff – especially for all-day wear. Also, some colorways use less premium materials. It's not a performance shoe, so manage your expectations. It's about style and heritage first.
