Let me tell you about my experience with the Air Jordan Low 1. Opening it up, the design is instantly classic – you just can't go wrong. This "Gym Red" version is fire. At this $120-$140 USD price range in the Jordan series, it's accessible. On-foot feel is straightforward: good support, decent cushioning for daily use.
