I'm always impressed by how clean Lows look. This pair is no exception — premium suede & leather combo for about $130. On foot, they're lighter & more freeing than Highs. Perfect for spring/summer fits. However, the outsole traction isn't great for serious sports. As a lifestyle shoe? Fantastic. It's a must for low-top fans, but performance hoopers should steer clear. The Jordan 1 Low is having a major moment for a reason. My immediate thought unboxing the Air Jordan 1 'Taxi'? That yellow is vibrant! It just screams. This shoe, like most in the Jordan series, is built well. On foot, it's snug in the best way—my foot doesn't slide around at all. For $180 USD, you get a timeless design. The clear pro is the color—it's a happy, energetic shoe. The con is that it might be too loud for some people's personal style or work environment. I'd say this is for the extroverts, the ones who want to stand out. If you prefer to fly under the radar with your footwear, this isn't your guy. Simple as that. Let's talk about the elephant in the room: comfort. The OG "Nike Air Jordan 1" isn't a modern performance shoe. After a few hours, my feet did feel it. The advantage, though? That ankle support is legit, and the flat base is great for casual wear. At ~$180, you're buying the look & the legacy. It’s a fair trade-off if you value design over max comfort. Alright, let's get these out of the box. First look? The classic "Air Jordan 1" silhouette is just... timeless. This 'University Blue' colorway pops so cleanly. The leather feels decent for a GR release, nothing crazy premium but it's solid. Honestly, for around $170, it's what I expected. That iconic high-top shape is always a winner straight out of the box.
