It's a piece of history that works in 2024. Worth the price? For the right colorway, absolutely - especially near retail. Just manage your expectations on cushioning, and you'll love ‘em. Okay, let's talk about the Jordan series' most accessible model: the air jordan low 1. This 'Black Toe' version is a grail for many. In person, the color blocking is "perfect". On foot? It's a classic, narrow fit—break-in required. The flat sole isn't for everyone, but the style is unmatched. At ~$135 USD, it's a staple. Ideal for collectors or casual wear. Not ideal if you prioritize modern tech. It's history you can walk in. Alright, checking out this pair of Air Jordan Low 1 'Chicago' colors. Right out of the box, that iconic red pops—it looks "amazing" on camera. Sliding them on, the break-in is real; they're a bit stiff initially. Comparing them to my Jordan 1 Highs, the low-top gives a totally different, more versatile vibe for summer fits. Major pro? They go with literally anything—jeans, shorts, you name it. The con? That classic Jordan 1 sole isn't exactly plush. If you prioritize style-over-comfort and love the heritage, grab 'em. For performance basketball? Not even close. Check out this 'White Cement' Air Jordan 1 Low. Opening the box, that clean white leather with grey hits just pops. Super fresh for spring/summer. On foot, they're light and the break-in period isn't bad at all. Visually, this might be one of the cleanest low-top Jordan series releases recently. At around $115 USD, it's a fair price. Pro? Incredibly easy to style. Con? White leather means you gotta keep 'em clean. I'd recommend these to anyone wanting a simple, classic sneaker. Maybe not for someone who beats their shoes up daily.
