Like, really stiff initially. The leather needs to soften up. But let's be honest—we don't buy these for bounce. We buy them for the "legendary" look. They're incredibly photogenic and work with "literally" any fit. Versus a Jordan 1 High, it’s a less-committal, more summer-ready option. Great for casual use, terrible for running errands all day. My advice? Know what you're getting: a style icon, not a comfort king. 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. Final verdict? For a casual, stylish shoe, the Air Jordan Low 1 is a yes from me. 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. If you're new to Jordans, the "Air Jordan 1 Low" is a fantastic entry point. It's less intimidating than the high-top, often more available, and carries the same legendary status. You get that iconic Wings logo and silhouette without the sometimes-tricky fit of the taller collar. For a first Jordan, it's a smart, stylish pick you won't regret.
