It’s a true wardrobe staple. The cons? The materials can vary "a lot" by colorway. Some use great leather, others feel a bit plasticky. Also, that flat outsole isn't the best for wet surfaces. Just keep that in mind! Let’s compare it real quick. Versus a high-top Air Jordan 1, you lose some ankle lockdown (obviously) but gain a ton of everyday versatility. Compared to newer Jordan models with Zoom air, the Air Jordan Low 1's ride is definitely more basic. It's about the look and the heritage, not cutting-edge tech. That's its charm, in my opinion. What's up, let's get into this Air Jordan Low 1 "University Blue" pair. Unboxing, the colors really pop – that clean white and blue combo is "chef's kiss". For a low-top, it carries the Jordan 1 legacy perfectly. On foot, they're light and easy to wear. The leather quality here is good for the $125 USD price point. Compared to a Mid, the profile is just a bit sleeker. Big pro is the easy summer styling. A potential con? The break-in period for the heel area can be real for some folks. I'd recommend these if you love clean colorways. Maybe look elsewhere if you need arch support right out the box. On foot, the Air Jordan 1 Low just works. The design is timeless. I'm wearing the 'Panda' colorway here, and it goes with literally everything - jeans, shorts, you name it. On camera, that crisp white leather against the black just looks premium. It’s a simple, effective design that hasn’t aged a day since '85.
