You're buying an icon. But if you're just looking for a comfy, tech-heavy gym or running shoe? The Air Jordan Retro 1 isn't that. Know what you're getting into, and you won't be disappointed. Just got these Air Jordan Retro 1 Lows in the 'Neutral Grey' colorway on foot. First impression? Super clean and perfect for summer fits! The break-in time is minimal compared to the highs—they're comfy almost right away. As a fan of the Jordan series, I love having a low-top option of this iconic design. Pros: Easy to wear, slightly more affordable (~$130 USD). Cons: You lose that iconic high-top profile and ankle support. Great for a casual, versatile rotation, not so much if you crave that classic high-top look. Just copped the mid-top version of the Air Jordan Retro 1. First thought? It's more accessible – easier to put on, a bit less restrictive around the ankle. Price is around $135, which is great. But you lose some of that iconic, high-top presence. For casual, everyday wear? It's a fantastic option. For purists who want "the" look? Stick with the OG high. Side-by-side with a Dunk? The Air Jordan 1 Retro has a slightly higher cut and often better materials (for similar retail price). This 'Court Purple' pair looks sharp on camera. The ankle support is great, but break-in is real. If you have wide feet, consider sizing up. For collectors and casual wearers, it's a fantastic pick-up.
