You don't have to think about it. Another big plus is the breathability over a high-top in warmer weather. However – the break-in can be a bit stiff on the heel, so wear thicker socks initially. Also, if you need arch support or plush cushioning, this isn't your shoe. It’s about style and feel, not tech. 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. Not gonna lie, the materials on some Air Jordan 1 Low releases can be hit or miss. This 'Smoke Grey' pair feels decent, but it's not premium. That's the trade-off for the ~$110 price tag. The advantage? That low-cut design makes them super easy to slip on and off. They're a "grab and go" kind of sneaker. Just don't compare the leather quality to some of the higher-tier Retro releases—you'll be disappointed. Major pros? Timeless style, hands down. The Air Jordan Low 1 goes with almost anything—jeans, shorts, joggers. It's a wardrobe workhorse. Build quality on my "Shadow" pair is good; no glaring flaws. It's also more accessible & often easier to get than some high-top colorways. For a sneakerhead building a rotation, this is a fundamental piece you won't regret.
