It's not "uncomfortable," but it's not plush. The footbed is firm, and the leather needs a break-in period. If you're used to modern, foam-packed runners, the "air jordan low 1" will feel stiff. Also, the traction on dusty surfaces can be just okay. It's built for style first, performance second—keep that in mind. Just put these "air jordan low 1" shoes on, and…yeah, it's a familiar feel. 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. On feet right now, and the "fit" is pretty true to size – maybe a "tiny" bit roomy in the toe for some. Comfort-wise, it's a flat, court-feel… don't expect Boost or React here, folks. But for all-day wear? It's perfectly fine. The "Air Jordan Low 1" is more about that iconic style than plush cushioning, which is exactly what I expected from this Jordan series staple. Who should "maybe" avoid it? Serious runners or folks who prioritize a super-soft, bouncy feel above all else. This isn't that shoe. Also, if you have a really wide foot, the fit might be too narrow. And if you're looking for the absolute highest quality materials? You might need to hunt for a premium 'OG' remastered version of the Air Jordan 1 Low, which costs more.
