Honestly? The red and white just "never" get old. The leather is stiff out of the box, which is typical. Walking in them, you get that "secure" feel, but you definitely feel the court heritage—it’s not a "all-day-everyday" comfort shoe. At its core, this is a "piece of history". Worth the current resell (which is high!)? For a die-hard fan, maybe. For a casual wearer looking for comfort? Probably not. It's for the "O.G. enthusiast". Let's talk about the flat footbed – it's a common complaint with the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG". Some people add an insole, and I don't blame them. But there's a plus side: that stable, grounded feel is great for just standing around or light walking. The high-top design, in my opinion, makes your legs look better in jeans or cargos. This 'Electro Orange' pair gets so many compliments. It's a shoe that performs best in social settings, not the gym or on long treks. In summary: iconic look, firm feel. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" delivers exactly what it promises - a faithful retro of a design icon. For "~$180", you get a piece of sneaker history. It's a 10/10 on style, but maybe a 6/10 on modern comfort standards. Your move depends on what you value more. For me? I'll always have a pair in the rotation. Thanks for watching 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.
