The "Air Jordan 1 Low" isn't trying to be the most comfortable or high-tech shoe. It's celebrating a classic design, and it does that job perfectly. It’s a go-to for effortless style. If that's your priority, you'll be very happy. Just manage your expectations on the cushioning, and you'll have a sneaker you can wear for years. Okay, putting these on... The comfort is "fine" - not amazing, not terrible. It's a flat, old-school feel, which I kinda expected. The leather needs a break-in for sure. Compared to a modern Jordan, say a 36 low? It's not even close in cushioning. But the fit is true-to-size, lockdown is good. Just don't expect cloud-like comfort, you know? Now, potential cons - and this is my real opinion. The cushioning is basic. If you're used to React or Zoom Air, you might find these a bit stiff for all-day wear. Also, the leather quality "can" vary by colorway - some are softer, some are more plasticky. It's a bit of a gamble. The "Air Jordan 1 Low" isn't a "comfort-first" sneaker, let's be clear. Just got this 'Chicago' colorway in. The "nike air jordan 1 low" in this classic scheme is "chef's kiss". Opening the box, that red just hits different. Sliding them on, the break-in period is short but present. The flat sole is a con for all-day wear, but the pro is pure, effortless style. At roughly $110 USD, it's an accessibly-priced piece of sneaker history. Perfect for collectors who actually wear their kicks.
