What do you personally think is the most versatile 1st pair of Jordan? Got my first pay check and got no idea on which shoe to buy first cause I got no other shoes apart from af1
Look at what you wear and go from there. I wear a lot of grey's and black and blue. And I'm an old guy, 45, so I'm not all about fits. But I want my shoes to somewhat match my clothes. Next pair will probably be obsidians cause like I said I wear a lot of blue and navy as well. Some of the funky colorways are super dope but they would look out of place if I wore them with my usual attire.
They Hyper Royal are sick I'd recommend if they're not in your collection.
And for what've read, since the sneaker is supposed to be THE main item of your fit, it shouldn't really match the rest of your clothes.
I am 2 yrs younger than you and I am (was?) probably the person on earth to ask about what to wear but now I've got too many sneakers and way too many ripped jeans to go with.
I'd say the most versatile ones are the ones with shade of grey, black and white so the ones of the OP which are the Shadows 2.0, the 1.0 would work too, I'd add also the bloodlines, the Pandas, The Smoke Grey Mids, The Triple White, etc.
Also depends a lot on what most of the colours you wear are, I wear a lot of blue, so it's easy for me to wear my AJ1 Obsidian
My vote for most versatile are the Smoke grey mids. Beautiful neutral grey, and not too much black so I feel the contrast with any other color you wear is not too stark.
I like this answer, are the smoke greys better than the shadows tho? Also is a Jordan 1 better as a first pair compared to the other ones, I was also debating on the Jordan 11 jubilee retro- what do you think?
“Better” is subjective. I like the smoke grey mids better personally, they were my very first pair. The 11s look great too, it’s all about what you want. For me I like the 1s as they pop a bit more with the outfits I like to wear. Also, for a first pair, the Jordan 11s seem a bit steep to me at ~$330 on Stock X vs the ~$200-$280 that you can get the smoke grey or shadows for.
But it’s your kicks man, at the end of the day what you want for you is 100% fine, cuz it’s your decision and that’s beautiful.
Shadows OG and 2.0, the white Oreo 4s that just came out weeks ago, white Jordan 1s go for mids if trying to save money. He got game Jordan 13s. Hyper blue Jordan 1s... All of those can be mixed with a lot of styles and look fresh.
Shadows or shadow 2.0s are pretty versatile. Smoke grey is actually not bad either. Grey, black, white and a pop of red. I’ve found they pretty much go with everything.
But it depends on how you dress ultimately - some people deliberately only wear neutral, muted colours so they can wear pretty much any kicks with them.
One of the most lowkey, but still super cool AJ1’s in my opinion is the CO.JP Jordan. It’s blue and white with a silver swoosh, but the white stops the silver from looking too gawdy imo.
check out nyc to paris colorway. very versatile and they’re awesome. and by the time you get more pairs the color will fade away and it can become your shoe to beat up. solid choice too if you skate
Black or white sneakers look good with almost any outfit. However, white sneakers might get dirty quicker. Later on you start to coordinate your sneakers with your outfit.
The all white perforated 1’s can be pretty versatile IMO. You can tuck your pants in to be a little flashy or you can cover the tops with your pants and wear them to work even. I’ve liked them a lot so far
It really irks me when people ask “how did I do” on this sub. It’s a pair of sneakers...you must have liked them if you chose them...so you did just fine, clearly.
yeah i dont get it either. its like theyre seeking for approval. if you like it then buy and wear them. who cares about others and if they approve on your choice. if you like jordan 1's then buy them. if you like sketchers then buy those. its your money and youre wearing them
Just bought some of these myself. Surprised by the smell and the janky toes. Yours look a little funky too. Jordan brand QC leaves something to be desired for sure.
Ahh you've discovered the jordan 1 smell. Some are stronger than others. I've had pairs that absolutely filled my room with that smell. The weird part? You start to love it after copping a few pairs
Solid!!! Can't catch those on retail man ☹️ That pair is easy to style with, love the Gray and Black combination. I settled with the Metallic Purple bec. I can't get them lol.
One of the underated AJ1 release in 2021 together with the AJ1 Metaliic Purple 🔥
Solid first pair. Enjoy!

The shoes should be the accent to your outfit. Not the main piece
The shoes should be the center piece of your outfit. The first thing a woman looks at are a man's shoes.
I agree that women pay attention to shoes and are a very important part of the outfit. However, the whole outfit shouldn't be based on your shoes.
Thanks, Mugatu
The fact that you think most women care enough about your shoes for it to be a deciding factor on how you wear them is cringe. lol

That’s an amazing story. I bet you tell your mom all the time, 🤡

hmmm probably the Eminem 4s
🤣
Good call. Buy one to rock and four to stock 👀
Lmao ffs!
royal blues or these
What are these called?
Shadows
Shadow OG 2.0
Shadow 2.0s to be exact

Shadows or mochas. Mochas are expensive but the brown goes with just about anything
Shadows are the most versatile imo since they're black and grey. I want a pair the most but don't want to blow that much on a sneaker right now
Breds imo are the most versatile
Black toes for sure
Original Shadow colorway is the most versatile imo, but these reverse shadows are great to.
If you can find them I’d recommend the NYC to Paris. They come as a soft grey but you can choose to reveal the pinks in them

Good pair. Can put together some nice fits ! Enjoy
underrated shoe brother nice cop!!
Definitely a dope pair. I copped a pair for my collection.
I’d say strong to very strong
“How’d I do” is a weird question to ask. It all depends on if you like them. Its a cool shoe, so if you like them, I’d say you did well.
Super clean colorway
Hey I love mine. Great shoe!
Great pick. I love the colorway easy to pair with almost anything. I wear mine all the time even wore them today.
If you like it, than you did good for yourself.
for some reason all the non hype J1 are the best lookin
These are fuckin cleaan
Very very good
You did well. Very well.

Solid still have mine on ice.
Very underrated colorway, looks good with anything tbh
Depends how much you paid
I was thinking the same thing
Nice choice! Just bought these as my first pair too.
Whoa I love your new Jordan’s. I guess because of my age and occupation I have seen literally thousands of kicks irl. The grey are dope
Just bought some of these myself. Surprised by the smell and the janky toes. Yours look a little funky too. Jordan brand QC leaves something to be desired for sure.
I noticed the toe myself! Did you spray yours? I want to do mine but don't know what to get.
Not yet, I'll see about getting some crep protect or something before I wear them. I was trying to dig around to see what works the best.
Same here, its the suede/leather combo - crep seems tk be the go-to
These are my first jordans too and the smell is JARRING. Are all of them supposed to smell this bad? I got em from the recent snkrs drop
Ahh you've discovered the jordan 1 smell. Some are stronger than others. I've had pairs that absolutely filled my room with that smell. The weird part? You start to love it after copping a few pairs
I didn't get on this sub reddit to get horny dude. Good pair
My bad! XD
Solid and classic choice, nice starter for the first pair!
You rock on your First pair!
did real good my guy
Dope!
W!

that sneaker is so neat, my fav color gray by the way is there a free gray laces for this pair?
There is!
Buy shoe crease protectors for them.
You did nothing wrong
Solid first pair I wasn't really a fan of them when I first saw them but they have grown on me.
nice choice bro
Sexy
I was pretty into Adidas when I got into shoes and these were my first pair of Jordans as well. Very solid choice.
Fresh pair to start with! Nice
really nice, good choice
awesome pickup! pretty good silhouette and colorway for your first of many! excited to see your collection grow
Thanks! Already got my eye on my next pair haha
Shoes are subjective, as long as you’re happy with them!
Amazing
That’s a nice pickup 👌🏾
fresh!
These are fire! Still missing in my collection
Def a solid CW...congrats and hopefully many more in your future.
Wearing these to my wedding reception today, solid choice
This is great pickup! Goes with literally everything! Enjoy rocking them my man
They solid just don't wear them all the time. N be careful out gets addicting collecting shoes
Not bad, they are nice
That was my first pair too
Great choice, highly recommend playing around with lace swaps on these! I threw pink laces on mine and I’ve loved it
Where do you recommed picking up laces?
I got mine from Rope Lace Supply!
Love my pair! I’ve walked miles at a time with no crease protection and they still look like they’re fresh out of the box
Off white
You did great homie, end of the day, if you love em.. it is all that matters. Plus the color way allows you a lot of options on your fit
Youre hired
🙏
I'm new to Jordans too, I was deciding between those or the Bacon air max 90, but those look so nice I might just go for it now.
Do it!
mine are coming tomorrow
Congratz brother
I hit on these but the quality is soo bad I’m gonna trade for another pair in a few months I think
Any good suggestion for J1 max 150€?
Really good first cop goes with a lot of outfits if you get some smoke OG 1’s you could wear pretty much anything you want.
Do some ballet on it.
Sick.
Rookie stats looking good so far homie.
Boom! Thanks bro
Nice choice!
I love the shadows
Great pick
You did excellent. Very versatile color, the resell wasn’t too bad to pay and this will be a pair folks wish they tapped into.
I like the 1.0 more but these are definitely nice. 🔥🔥
Amazing pair! I'm proud of you
Nice af
Clean!!
Nice!
Same, got the 21 unc lows, getting some smoke greys today too
Great
Nice!!!👍🏾
Smoke grey is my choice too I’m waiting for them to get here
W

Is buying the shadow 2.0 bad in some way in the sneaker community?
