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 my wide-footers out there, listen up. This "air jordan low 1" can feel a bit narrow at first. I'd consider half a size up "or" just expect a brief break-in period. Once it molds, it's fine for casual wear. Don't expect a wide toe box. That's the trade-off for that sleek silhouette. It's a style-first model, and I think it absolutely delivers on that promise. Unboxing this Court Purple "air jordan low 1" – wow, the color just pops in person. The build feels sturdy, no glue stains or anything sloppy. Once I laced them up, I noticed the toe box is roomier than some modern lows – a plus for wider feet! The look on foot is fantastic, a perfect blend of retro and wearable. Versus other Jordan lows, this one feels more true to the OG design. Love it for style; the cushioning is just "okay". Ideal for collectors and style-focused folks, maybe not for performance. Comparing it to other Jordans? It's lighter and more breathable than a high-top AJ1, obviously. Versus a Jordan 1 Mid? The silhouette is cleaner, more premium in my opinion. This specific 'University Blue' air jordan low 1 has buttery smooth leather that really elevates it. It just feels a step above your average GR Mid release, you know?
