Why? It's the definition of a workhorse sneaker. Out of the box, it's exactly what you think: simple, well-made, ready to wear. The comfort is "adequate"—nothing special, but not painful. The beauty is in its simplicity; jeans, shorts, sweats—it all works. Versus other low-top Jordans? This is the original blueprint. Pro: Effortless style. Con: Very basic; won't excite hardcore collectors. For ~$110, it's perfect for a first sneaker or a reliable beater. Not for those seeking the latest hype. Taking a closer look at the build — the stitching is decent. For this price, you can't expect perfection, but my pair looks good! The toe box creases, that's just part of the game with this leather. It adds character! Compared to some other Jordan models, this is "the" low-top staple. It's not trying to be the new hot thing, and that's its strength. It's reliably cool. New to sneakers? The Air Jordan 1 Low is a solid first pickup. This model gives you a taste of the iconic Jordan Brand history without the bulk of a high-top. For $115, you get a well-made, versatile shoe. The insole is basic, so I might add a comfort insert for long days. They look great fresh out of the box, and honestly, even better with a bit of wear. It's not the most innovative shoe, but it's a certified classic for a reason. Let's talk looks on foot. This 'UNC Blue' pair "really" pops"." The low cut makes your legs look a bit longer – it's a cleaner, more versatile profile than the high-top for sure. I love pairing these with shorts or rolled-up jeans. For around $120, it's a staple sneaker that works with tons of fits. The Jordan series low-tops are just easier to style daily, in my honest opinion.
