The materials can be a bit basic on GR releases—don't expect buttery soft leather. It's a trade-off for the $120-$130 USD price point. If you want premium, seek out special collabs. But for a daily driver, this build is totally acceptable and durable. Checking out this "Royal" "Air Jordan Low 1". First off, that blue is vibrant in hand! The build quality seems consistent with the Jordan 1 series. Sliding my foot in, the leather needs a little break-in, but the overall shape is great.
