For $180 USD, you could get more technologically advanced sneakers. The Air Jordan 1 High OG is about aesthetics and heritage, not cutting-edge foam. That's just the real talk. Honest on-foot review: The Air Jordan 1 High OG fits true to size for me. The break-in is the main event – the heel collar can be stiff initially. After a few wears? It molds to your foot nicely. The flat ride is something you get used to… or you add an insole. Compared to a Jordan 1 Low, the High OG offers more ankle presence and that classic, coveted profile. It’s a different vibe entirely. Unboxing this 'University Blue' pair… wow. The suede/nubuck feels premium. The overall craftsmanship on this OG model is generally top-tier for its price point (~$170 USD). My advice? If you're new to the Jordan series, the Air Jordan 1 High OG is the perfect starting point. It's the foundation of everything. But know the fit can be snug. For me, the biggest "pro" of any classic Air Jordan 1 High OG is its versatility. I can wear this 'Shadow' colorway with almost anything. The leather is durable, the build is solid. However—and this is key—if you need plush, all-day comfort, look elsewhere. This shoe is about style & heritage, not cloud-like feel. Just my honest take.
