The ankle collar is low, obviously—offering way more mobility than the highs. The cushioning is firm; don't expect Boost-like softness here. It's a "connected-to-the-floor" sensation, which I actually prefer for casual wear. They're "light", too, super easy to just slip on and go about your day. Unboxing the 'Court Purple' Air Jordan 1 Low. Wow, that purple is rich in person - really stands out. The build is standard but good. Trying them on, the collar is a bit stiff initially but will soften. The look is pure vintage basketball, a hallmark of the Jordan series. The clear pro is making a color statement. The potential downside? It limits your outfit choices a bit. Priced around $115 USD, it's a fun addition. I'd recommend it to someone with a bold style. If you wear mostly neutrals, this might sit in the box. Alright, so let's get into this pair of the "air jordan low 1". First impression out of the box - the leather here feels decent, not the absolute best, but solid for the $125 price tag. This 'Black Cement' colorway is just a classic, no question. The overall shape looks good to me, very true to that original low-top Jordan series silhouette. It’s a clean, straightforward start. Comparing it to other Lows in the Jordan series, like the AJ3 or AJ5 Low, the "AJ1 Low" wins on pure simplicity. It's stripped back to the essentials. You're paying for the shape and the history. Some might find that boring, but I think it's why it remains so popular. It’s a design that never "truly" goes out of style.
