0 in hand. Opening the box, that buttery grey nubuck is "insane". The craftsmanship here is top-tier. Putting them on... wow, they feel premium. The padded collar is nice! Compared to the standard leather versions, these are noticeably softer. The $200 price tag is steep, but you see where the money went. Benefit? Amazing materials and a luxurious feel. Downside? That price, obviously, and they'll get dirty easily. In my honest opinion, these are for the serious sneakerhead who appreciates details. Not a daily beater shoe. Walking around in them... yeah, you feel every bit of that 1985 DNA. The sole is firm, the ankle support is high – it's a very "grounded" feel. I love the elevated look it gives me, style-wise. But compared to a Jordan 3 or 4? It's less forgiving on the foot, for sure. That's the trade-off for that sleek, low-profile silhouette. If you prioritize looks – win. If you prioritize plush comfort – maybe look elsewhere. Just unboxed the Jordan Air 1 Low 'OG Neutral Grey'. This is a sleeper hit. The materials — that buttery soft grey suede — are fantastic. On foot, the low-cut feels super versatile and easy to wear. It's less restrictive than the high-top Jordan Air 1s. Honestly, if you find the highs too "much," try a low. This is a perfect summer shoe and a clean, underrated colorway in my opinion. Who is this for? Honestly, it’s for the collector, the style enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates sneaker history. It's a cornerstone. If you want a piece of that legacy in your closet – and you're okay with the classic, less-cushioned feel – then grabbing a pair of Jordan Air 1s is a no-brainer. It's an essential, in my opinion.
