Who should NOT buy

One reason why you may not vibe with this Air Jordan is its lack of cushioning and comfort for all-day wear. You will find the air jordan 5 retro gs raging bull and the air jordan xx9 veterans day The Jordan Reveal Quai 54 is part of Nike and Jordan Brand's.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Did you know that before signing a contract with Nike back in the '80s, Michael Jordan actually preferred Adidas shoes? He found them more grounded compared to Nike.

Perhaps this explains why the Air Jordan 1 has such a low profile? The whole shoe was designed to meet Jordan's needs at the time.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 low stack

Looking at our caliper measurement, the shoe's heel stack is as low as 22.9 mm which is significantly lower than average!

Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 Heel stack

Oh, gosh, it's nearly as low as the Adidas Samba (19.3 mm) and the Gazelle (23.3 mm)!

Forefoot stack

The midsole gets even thinner in the forefoot, showing a mere 11.8 mm on our caliper.

Indeed, the AJ1 Low feels extremely low to the ground. We find it hard to believe that the 6'6" tall Michael Jordan considered this to be enough cushioning for professional play.

Drop

Looking at the shoe's half-cut midsole, we see a rather gradual 11.1 mm drop.

The heel is moderately elevated above the toes offering a touch of support for the Achilles without pushing the toes forward.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

As you can probably tell by now, cushioning is very minimal in this Air Jordan sneaker. What's more, it is not very soft either.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 Midsole softness

Pressing our Shore A durometer against the foam returned a reading of 27.8 HA. It indicates a moderately soft material that offers just a touch of shock absorption.

Coupled with a firm cup sole and an even firmer rubber outsole, it makes the AJ1 Low feel less than cushy on foot.

It seems like the Air capsule under the heel is the shoe's primary source of comfort and impact protection.

Toebox width - widest part

If you have medium-width feet, the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 is going to treat you to an expected D medium fit. Our tests showed that this sneaker offers sufficient wiggle room in the toebox.

Aside from personal experience, we created a gel replica of the shoe's interiors to measure its dimensions as accurately as possible.

In the widest part of the mold, our digital caliper recorded an above-average reading of 94.9 mm which is a good amount of space for a medium-width foot.

We also found that the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5's toebox does not put pressure on the toes from the top. Our caiper measured its toebox height at an above-average 29.8 mm.

This is good news because toe pinching wouldn't be fun with the shoe's thick and nonforgiving leather upper.

Stability

Lateral stability test

Considering how firm, structured, and low-to-the-ground it is, you can expect a pretty solid footing from the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5.

The stitched cup sole design also makes the sneaker more supportive. Our feet felt cradled by it inside the shoe.

Torsional rigidity

Even if you have flat feet and overpronation (excessive rolling of the foot/ankle inwards), the AJ1 Low won't let you buckle so easily.

As you can see from our manual test above, the shoe has a lot of torsional rigidity to it. On a stiffness scale from 1 to 5, we gave it a high score of 4.

Heel counter stiffness

This Jordan sneaker also features an immensely stiff heel counter. It created a real death grip around our heels eliminating every chance of heel slippage or sliding inside the shoe.

This is the highest level of heel hold that you can get in a sneaker. Thus, we rated the shoe's heel counter stiffness with the highest score of 5.

P.S. Let us remind you once again that wearing taller socks and snapping on a band-aid may be necessary to prevent the shoe's rough heel collar from digging into your Achilles.

Flexibility / Stiffness

Considering how stiff the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 felt straight from the box, we were surprised that it was only moderately stiffer than average.

According to our shoe flexing tester, this Jordan silhouette requires a force of 16.2N to bend by 30 degrees. This is about 15% more than it took our lab-tested sneakers on average but we honestly thoughht it would be even more.

But please keep in mind that this Jordan sneaker takes some time to feel fully broken in too.

Breathability

With its entire upper made of leather, it's pretty clear why the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 is not our top pick for summer.

Multiple perforations on the shoe's toebox don't seem to help the airflow that much. Pumping smoke into the shoe, we found that it primarily escaped through the gaps in the tongue area and not so much through the apertures over the toes.

In addition, the shoe's inner lining is so dense that it doesn't even let the light shine through the holes in our transparency test.

Rating the shoe's breathability on a 1-5 scale, we can't give it any higher than 2.

It would be wise to save the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 for colder weather and grab an airy mesh sneaker like the Air Jordan 11 Concord Bred Collection for summertime.

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

Over the years, the Air Jordan 1 received a fair share of hate regarding its leather quality.

Having checked and tested the sneaker ourselves, we can confirm that TECHNICALLY it does use real leather. But it is not the same high-quality leather that we saw on New Balance's Made in USA shoes for example.

And that's fair enough considering that the Jordan 1 Low's moderate MSRP of $125.

We set out to test each panel on the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5's upper using a butane torch and a leather scratch awl.

The heel overlay, the toebox, and the eyestay layer all behaved well under the fire. The material did not melt or catch fire.

The shiny effect indicates that the leather is covered in a plastic finish that helps to prevent scratches and gives the shoe a classier look.

But we have some reservations about the shoe's midfoot panel and the Swoosh. These parts melted away much more easily than the rest. Looks like Nike is cutting corners in the low-wear areas like these.

Another nuisance to watch out for is creasing. The shoe's soft leather is prone to developing wrinkles pretty fast.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 Leather/Suede quality creasing

Overall, we think that the leather quality of the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 is reasonable for the price. If you set the expectations right from the beginning, you won't be disappointed with the sneaker.

Toebox durability

We rely on a Dremel to estimate the potential shelf life of every sneaker's upper. The tool is topped with a sandpaper tip which helps us to mimic the wear-and-tear of prolonged shoe wear.

Applying the tool to the shoe's toebox panel for 12 seconds at consistent pressure (3.2N) and speed (5K RPM), we were pleasantly surprised with the result.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 Toebox durability test

The tool brushed off the topmost layer of the leather without affecting its overall integrity.

It is an excellent level of wear resistance that's reflected in the shoe's high toebox durability score of 4 out of 5.

P.S. Please note that the shoe's heel lining is quite rough to the touch. Even though it's great for wear resistance, it can be pretty hard on the skin.

The origins of the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5

The very first Air Jordan 1 sneaker saw light in 1985.

It was designed by Peter Moore, Tinker Hatfield, and Bruce Kilgore as a performance basketball shoe that catered to Michael Jordan when he played for the Chicago Bulls.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 style

The name "Air Jordan" was suggested by Michael's agent David Falk. It reflected the athlete's graceful soar during his legendary dunk shots.

The idea of flying through the air also lies behind the shoe's famous Wings Logo.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 wings logo

But the story of the Air Jordan 1 began with a scandal ignited by the now famous "Banned" colorway of the shoe.

According to NBA rules at the time, the shoe colors of all team players were supposed to match. However, Michael's pair of AJ 1s only had 23% of white as opposed to the 51% worn by the rest of his teammates. Nike had to pay a fine of $5,000 each time Michael played in his "BRED" pair.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shadow schwarz grau dd9315-001 UK 10.5 history

It is a popular opinion, however, that Nike violated the rules on purpose to boost the crowd's interest in the newly released Jordan shoe.

Offered as a casual sneaker for the general public, the Air Jordan 1 earned the company over $150 million in sales from over 50,000 sold pairs.
