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. Comparing it directly to the High version, this "air jordan low 1" is obviously... lighter and more breathable. It loses that iconic high-top collar, so if ankle support is your thing, look elsewhere. But for style? It nails that effortless look. The 'University Blue' color blocking is "fire" in person. Pros: everyday comfort, timeless style. Cons: basic tech. You know what you're getting. Potential downside? The ankle collar is low—obviously, it’s a low-top. If you have "very" narrow heels, you "might" feel a slight slip until the shoe forms to your foot. It’s not a deal-breaker for me, but something to note. Overall, the "Air Jordan Low 1" delivers exactly what it promises: a classic, comfortable, and stylish sneaker for the streets, not the court. Final verdict? If you love the Jordan 1 silhouette but find the highs too restrictive or hot, the "Air Jordan Low 1" is your answer. For the price, it’s a no-brainer for a casual sneaker. It’s not trying to be the most tech-heavy shoe; it’s celebrating a design icon. I’d recommend it to style-focused wearers. Skip it if you're purely chasing cloud-like comfort. Solid pick-up
