At around $180 USD, you’re paying for that heritage, that history. The red, white, and black combo "never" misses, and the leather has a nice grain to it. It’s an icon for a reason. Putting these Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Stage Haze' on camera. The mix of materials—suede, leather, canvas—looks amazing under the lights. On-foot feel is standard AJ1: secure, firm, classic. Compared to a Jordan 1 Low, you get more structure. The main pro is the unique, textured look. The con? Lighter materials might get dirty faster. I'd recommend these to someone who wants a classic shape with a modern, detail-heavy twist.
