I went true to size, and the fit is snug, maybe a "tiny" bit narrow. The leather creases, that's just part of the deal. Compared to a Jordan 3 or 4, the comfort isn't even close; this is about the look. A must-have for sneakerheads, for sure. But for runners or people who prioritize comfort? This ain't it. It's a legend, but be real about what you're buying. Let's talk materials. On this 'Bred' colorway, the leather is stiff but softens up. Compared to some newer, plasticky retro releases, the OG model often gets better cuts. The insole is basic, though. You're paying for the name, the legacy, and that flawless profile – not premium comfort tech. For a $180 USD sneaker, I wish there was a "bit" more underfoot, but I get it. Tradition over tech. Opening the box, the classic "Nike Air" tongue tag hits you with nostalgia. This shoe, the "Air jordan 1 high og", is about legacy. On feet, the break-in is real – the heel can be stiff at first. Compared to newer Jordan models, it's less forgiving. The major advantage? Timeless style that never goes out of fashion. The disadvantage? The price has climbed, and the tech inside hasn't. If you're new to Jordans, this is the blueprint. If you need orthopedic-level support, probably skip it. For me, it's a staple. Initial thoughts: The quality here is solid. This "air jordan 1 high og" in 'Shadow' grey is so versatile. On foot, it's snug - I went true to size and it's perfect. The flat, firm midsole isn't for long walks, let's be real. But standing in them, walking around the city? You feel elevated, stylish. Compared to a Jordan 3 or 4, it's less cushioned, but more sleek. Pro: goes with literally anything. Con: the break-in period is real. Worth it for a wardrobe staple, though.
