The Air Jordan 1 Low is a perfect first Jordan. Who isn't it for? If you need major arch support or super-soft cushioning, look elsewhere. This is about style and heritage, not performance tech. First thoughts on the Air Jordan Low 1 'University Blue'? The suede is decent—better than some Mids I've seen. That baby blue is so fresh for spring/summer. Sliding my foot in, the insole is pretty basic, but the overall fit is good. Styling these is a breeze; they look great with jeans or shorts. Versus a Jordan 1 High, you lose some of the dramatic look but gain wearability. Pro: fantastic seasonal color. Con: suede can be high-maintenance in bad weather. This is a great shoe for a collector wanting a pop of color or someone building a versatile rotation. Not a workhorse sneaker. On foot, the shape of this "Jordan 1 Low" really pops. I got the 'Neutral Grey' pair, and the low-cut profile is "so" versatile. It doesn't feel bulky at all compared to the High tops. The toe box creases naturally—part of the charm—but the overall look on camera is sleek. For a simple, clean sneaker that goes with "anything"? This is a top contender in the Jordan series. Final verdict? For $130, you're buying a piece of sneaker history in its most wearable form. The "Air Jordan Low 1" is a workhorse for your rotation. It's not trying to be the most comfortable or tech-heavy. It's trying to be a classic, and it succeeds completely. I'd recommend it to any casual style enthusiast.
