But on the resell market for crazy prices? That's a personal call. The value is in wearing it, not just holding it. The quality on these recent OG releases has been pretty consistent, which is a plus. Honest opinion? This shoe is for collectors and style enthusiasts. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" is a cultural icon. It's not for serious basketball or long-distance walking. The pro is its unmatched legacy and look. The con is the dated, firm ride. At $180, you decide what you value more. For me, it's a wardrobe essential, flaws and all. The craftsmanship on my pair is pretty good! Stitching is clean, and the leather, while not buttery, has a nice grain. No glue stains or major flaws. For a mass-retro, it's well-made. Holding it, you appreciate the build – it feels substantial, not cheap. That OG high-top shape is just perfect. Every detail, from the Wings logo to the Nike Air tongue tag, feels correct. They nailed the retro spec. Wearing these out, the compliments are real. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" in a classic 'Black/White' just works with everything. My first impression was how structured it is—it holds its shape perfectly. The advantage is its timeless design and incredible versatility. The potential drawback is the price; at ~$180 USD, it's an investment. I'd recommend it to anyone building a core sneaker rotation. If you need max cushioning, though, look at the Jordan 3 or 4 instead.
