Paying retail (around $180 USD) for a classic OG colorway like 'Shadow' or 'Bred' is justifiable. The quality is there, and you're getting a piece of history. Would I pay huge resale? Probably not. The value is in wearing them, not just holding them. My advice? If you love the "Air Jordan 1" silhouette, grab an OG pair at retail and actually enjoy them. Is it worth it? For me, yes – but conditionally. If you love the design and history, 100%. It's a piece of wearable art. If you're purely a comfort chaser, maybe not. The value is in its timelessness. A "Royal Blue" "air jordan 1 retro high og" won't go out of style. In five years, it'll still look fresh. That longevity, for a sneaker, is rare. That's where the price makes sense. The build quality here is pretty good! Stitching is clean on my pair. Wearing them, the leather creases – that's part of the charm of the "air jordan 1 retro high og". It tells a story. The fit is true to size for me, with a snug heel and roomy toe box. It's a confident, substantial feel on foot. You don't forget you're wearing them, but in a good way. They have presence. Putting these on camera, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" just pops. The shape is so clean — no wonky panels or odd lines. Compared to some of the recent, more padded retros, this OG build looks sleeker. I'm wearing the 'Royal' blue pair, and that contrast against the black is "insane". It's a shoe that "always" looks good in photos and in person. That's a massive win in my book.
