Some colorways of the "Air Jordan 1 Low" get really nice leather, others... not so much. Do your research on the specific release! Also, that firm cushioning I mentioned? If you have foot issues or want maximum comfort, this might not be your first pick. It's a flat-footed, board-like feel that not everyone loves. Here's my take on the 'Black Toe' "nike air jordan 1 low". Out of the box, it's a forever classic – you can't go wrong. The leather is stiff initially but will form to your foot. The major advantage? Its sheer versatility with any outfit. The disadvantage is the lack of modern tech; it's a 1985 design, low-top version. For $110 USD, you're buying an icon. Ideal for style-first wearers, not for tech geeks. I have to point out the toe box creasing—it happens, and it happens fast. 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. Opening the box, this "Nike Air Jordan 1 Low" 'Starfish' just brings a smile. That orange is so vibrant and fun! The construction seems on point. Trying them on, they feel a tad narrower than some other lows I own, so maybe consider half-size up if you're in between. The beauty is in its simplicity – easy to wear, easy to love. Priced at $110 in the Jordan series, it's accessible. The downside? Like most AJ1s, they're not "comfort" shoes. I recommend these for adding a pop of color to your wardrobe. Avoid if you have very wide feet or need orthopedic support.
