The look is 10/10. The feel? It's a 6/10 until broken in. Would I recommend it? Absolutely—but with managed expectations. You're buying a piece of sneaker history in the "air jordan 1 retro high og", not a cloud for your feet. And sometimes, that's exactly what you want. Who should skip it? If tech and cushion are your top priorities – maybe try a Jordan 35 or something modern. If you hate creasing your sneakers... maybe admire these from afar. They're meant to be worn and lived in. For $180+, you want a performance tool? This ain't it. But for a style icon? It's perfect. Comparing it to modern Jordans like the Jordan 5 or 13? The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is "all" about style, not performance tech. You buy this for the heritage and the crisp look. The materials on this 'Court Purple' version are decent—better than some GR releases. For $180 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that still dominates streetwear. Box opening time. This Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'University Blue' is clean. The color blocking is "perfect" — a true OG style. On foot, they feel... classic. That means firm cushioning and a break-in period. Compared to newer J's like the 3 or 4, these are less comfortable but more timeless style-wise. The pros? Unmatched looks and wardrobe options. The cons? They're not for long walks, in my honest opinion. If you're new to Jordans, this is a cornerstone piece. If you need plush comfort, you might be disappointed.
