Unboxing: the grey and black suede/leather combo is super subtle and premium-feeling. Honestly? They look even better in hand than in pictures. Slipping them on, the fit is secure—no heel slip for me. The beauty of this low-top is its under-the-radar style; it's not as loud as some other Jordan 1 colorways. Pro? Incredibly easy to wear daily. Con? Like all OG-style AJ1s, they lack modern cushioning. If you want a low-key, high-quality staple for your rotation, 100% recommend. For tech-heavy comfort seekers, maybe pass. Alright, let's get into these "new" air jordan low 1 'Chicago' colorway! Unboxing—man, the red/white/black is "instantly" iconic. The leather feels... decent, classic AJ1 construction. But honestly, for the $135 USD price tag? It's about the look. Slipping them on... the fit is true-to-size, a bit stiff at first. If you love the high-top but need a low-profile summer shoe, this is it. For true performance? Look elsewhere. It's a lifestyle "legend". Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 1 Low is like the easy-going sibling. The AJ1 High is more formal; the AJ4 is chunkier. This Low version strips it back to basics. It's lightweight, low-profile, and focuses purely on that classic silhouette. For me, that's a big advantage for summer or just avoiding a bulky feel. It's a different experience from the rest of the Jordan line, in a good way. Just unboxed the "Air Jordan Low 1" "Starfish"—this orange is bold! Initial reaction? The materials feel good, and I love the contrasting black Swoosh. On foot, they’re true to size with a secure fit. For a low-top, they offer enough support for casual wear. This colorway really stands out in person… way more than in pictures. It’s a fun, summer-ready take on the classic. Worth the $135? If you want to add a pop of color to your fits, absolutely. If you only wear neutrals, maybe pass.
