That's just the nature of the leather on most GR (General Release) pairs. Don't buy these if a pristine look is your top priority. But if you like that worn-in, lived-in aesthetic, the "Nike Air Jordan 1 Low" develops character beautifully. It's a shoe meant to be worn, hard. Let's talk comfort, "real" quick. Don't expect Boost or React. The midsole is firm—it's that vintage basketball feel. If you're all about cushioning, look elsewhere. "But", for all-day casual wear? Walking the dog, running errands? This "Air Jordan 1 Low" is "totally" fine. It's more about the iconic look than cloud-like comfort. Now, a potential con: the materials. On some colorways, the leather can feel a bit... stiff or plasticky. It’s not the premium tumbled leather you get on the High OG versions. If you're a materials snob, that might bug you. But for a daily beater? It’s actually more durable and easier to clean, so it's a trade-off I can personally live with. Reviewing this 'Neutral Grey' "Jordan 1 Low". The quality here is surprisingly good! Clean stitching, soft leather on this version. On foot, it's the same familiar, firm "Air Jordan 1 low" experience. The low-cut makes it super easy to slip on & off – a huge plus for daily errands. Priced around $100 USD, it's a minimalist's dream. But if you need arch support or a bouncy feel? This isn't it. It's a lifestyle piece, period.
