The con? That dated tech. If you're coming from ultra-boosts or New Balances, this will feel like a brick. But walking around the city? It's fine. Just don't expect cloud-like comfort. It's a fashion piece first, performance shoe... well, not at all. So I finally got my hands on the 'Neutral Grey' "Air Jordan 1 High OG". Super clean, super versatile colorway. Opening the box, the materials feel nice—good quality leather. Putting them on... okay, let's be real: they're not "comfortable" shoes. They're narrow, they're heavy-ish, and the sole is firm. But—and it's a big but—they go with "literally everything" in your closet. Style points are a 10/10. On feet, the visual impact is undeniable. This shoe, especially in a classic 'Bred' or 'Chicago' colorway, changes an outfit instantly. It's a statement piece. The height gives a certain... confidence? Compared to, say, a Jordan 3 or 4, the AJ1 is sharper, more minimalistic in its design lines. It's less bulky on foot for sure. So, this is the "Air Jordan 1 High OG" 'Patent Bred' version. First impression? The patent leather "shines"—literally. It's a different vibe! For $200 USD, it's a statement. On foot, they're "stiff" at first—the patent material doesn't have much give. The pros? "Unmatched presence & easy-to-clean" material. The cons? Less flexibility & potential creasing. If you love bold looks & don't mind a break-in, go for it. If you prefer soft, supple leather—stick to the standard OG versions.
