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 smell of that new leather is "everything". This "air jordan 1 high og" – let's say the "Bred" colorway – looks even better in hand. On foot, the support is notable, especially around the ankle. It’s a confident feel. However, the outsole is quite flat, and there's not much arch support. That's the main trade-off. The pro is its undeniable, timeless look from the Jordan series. It's a shoe that gets compliments. My final thought? Worth it for the style icon status. Not worth it if your #1 priority is orthopedic comfort. Comparing it to a Mid version, the High OG just feels… more complete. The collar height, the overall shape – it's the original blueprint. Stepping out, you feel that legacy. It's not the most innovative shoe in 2024, but it's arguably the most important. A true cornerstone of any sneaker rotation. First impression: that profile is just "chef's kiss". This "air jordan 1 high og" has the perfect silhouette. On foot, the fit is narrow - if you have wide feet, consider sizing up. The ankle padding is thick, which I appreciate. The simple cushioning means you feel the ground, which some people actually prefer! It's a raw, connected feel. For around $180, you're buying a design masterpiece. It's perfect for collectors and fashion-focused folks. Not so great for folks with foot issues needing support.
