It's not trying to be the softest shoe. It's trying to be the coolest. And for decades, it's succeeded. My advice? Try a pair on, walk around, and see if that classic magic clicks for you. For me, it always does. 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. Alright, let's get into these. Unboxing this pair - specifically, the 'Chicago' colorway - is always special. The materials? They feel premium, honestly. That classic silhouette of the "air jordan 1 high og" is just iconic. At "around" "$180 USD", you're paying for that legacy. On foot, it's "exactly" what you expect: a bit stiff at first, but the ankle support is fantastic. Visually? It pops. My advice? If you love classic, heritage Jordan series kicks, this is a must. If you need modern, plush cushioning... maybe look elsewhere. Wearing these 'Royal Blue' Air Jordan 1s today. On camera, the colors pop so nicely. The toe box creases, sure, but it adds character. Compared to the newer Jordan 1 Lows? The High OG offers way more structure. It’s a heavier shoe, though. If you like a secure, locked-down feel, you'll love it. If you prefer a minimal sneaker, maybe not.
