Unboxing this shoe never gets old. That first sight of the classic colors... lacing up that high top... it's an experience. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is more than a shoe; it's a statement. Just don't expect a revolution in comfort / and you'll be golden. It's a legend for a reason. Alright, let's get into these "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Bred Patent'". First off, the box is "classic", and unboxing this pair? The patent leather "absolutely pops" under the lights. It’s a more modern take on the iconic ‘Bred’ colorway. On foot, the fit is true to size with that familiar, "structured" feel—it's not a plush shoe, let's be real. At around "$200 USD", it’s a premium for the look. For me, the shiny finish is a win, but it might be too flashy for purists who love the original matte leather. Straight out of the box, the shape on this Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is "on point". Nike really nailed the "OG" build with the higher ankle collar and that sleeker toe box. Comparing it to some of the recent, bulkier Jordan 1 mids? It's a night-and-day difference. This is the "exact" profile that started it all. For purists, this detail alone makes it worth it. The materials on this specific ‘University Blue’ pair are pretty nice! The white leather panels are smooth, and the suede-like blue feels premium. Unboxing a fresh pair of the "air jordan 1 retro high og" is always a joy. The construction feels solid—no glue stains I can see. For the Jordan series, this retro represents a high-quality release, especially at this price point.
