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. Honest first thoughts on this suede "Jordan 1 Low": The materials look good! But suede can be scary, right? Gotta be careful. Wearing them, they're lightweight and the fit is standard. Visually, they add a nice texture to the classic design. It’s a great alternative if you have too many leather pairs. Just know - they're not for rainy days or rough use. A fair trade-off for the style, in my opinion. Wrapping up: Would I recommend it? Absolutely, but with context. The "Nike Air Jordan 1 Low" is a foundational sneaker. Manage your expectations on comfort and materials, and you'll have a stylish, durable shoe that lasts for years. It's a staple for a reason. What do you guys think - are you picking up this latest colorway? Let me know down below Sliding these on... wow. Initial thoughts? The comfort is decent - it’s a flat, stable base (which I like) but don’t expect modern, pillowy cushioning. That’s just not what this shoe is about. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure wrap around the midfoot. The "Air Jordan 1 Low" is definitely a lifestyle-first, performance-second kind of model. Keep that in mind.
