Who should buy the Air Jordan 1 Low
Apart from sneaker fans who enjoy the timeless style of the Air Jordan 1 Low, this shoe is also for those who:
- Enjoy the bounciness of the Air-Sole unit.
- Collect Air Jordan models on a budget.
- Want the comfort but not the ankle-hugging feel of the Air Jordan 1 High.
Who should NOT buy it
If you enjoy wearing sneakers without socks, this kick might rub on your heel and may cause you blisters. You might want to check oodles of Nike sock sneakers that are friendly to the heel that you can indeed wear without socks.
Air Jordan Low 1: The low of an iconic high
Paying homage to the immeasurable success of the Jordan collection, an iconic model was relaunched. After relying primarily on collaborations, such as with Dior and Travis Scott, Low Air Jordan 1 was introduced in its authentic form.
Extremely comfortable for day-to-day use
We discovered that this lifestyle take on the iconic sneaker Air Jordan 1 High is perfect for daily use as it keeps us feeling cosy even after wearing it for hours.
A hardy construction
With its features that we confirmed to resist wear, such as premium leather, several overlays, and tough rubber outsole, we enjoyed this kick for an extended period.
Quality
True to Jordan sneakers genome, we noticed that this model is made with top-notch materials.
Simple flair and charming hues
It displays a classic phenotype similar to another basketball-rooted iteration from the Swoosh, the Dunk Low. These sneakers both feature comparable knacks when it comes to hues, striking themes, and sporty features. We love that it has a timeless look that effortlessly floods us with compliments.
Wrinkle former
We want to point out that this sneaker is not for users who hate creased leather, as this model has soft leather that quickly forms crumples after a few uses.
You better put those socks on!
We were annoyed at its tad rigid heel as it felt like a bite on our heels.
Air Jordan 1 Low vs. Nike Dunk Low
Both designed by Peter Moore, these models have more similarities than differences. However, we have listed a few differences that we find interesting:
- Although some Dunks have Zoom Air on their midsole, the regular Nike Dunk Low does not have that technology. However, the Air Jordan 1 Low carries that iconic Air-Sole tech that provides better cushioning than the traditional sole.
- The Swoosh found on the Dunk intersects the heel counter and heel tab. Meanwhile, the AJ Lows display various stitching panels on the heel with the Swoosh tail above the heel counter.
- The Air Jordan Low 1 flaunts the iconic Wing logo on its heel counter, while the Dunk Low also has the common Nike branding embroidered on its heel tab.
- While the toe box of Dunk is broader and taller, the AJ 1 Lows is a bit more tapered. This is because AJ Low 1 is performance footwear. It is snug which keeps our feet from sliding in the shoe while playing.
