The materials feel durable, which is a plus. The downside? That firm midsole - don't expect Boost or ZoomX here. It's a trade-off: iconic style vs. modern comfort. For casual wear and collecting, it's a 10/10. For all-day walking tours? Maybe not your first choice. Know what you're getting into. On foot now. Honestly, the comfort is… fine? Don't expect modern cushioning. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" feels sturdy – like a classic basketball shoe (because it is!). The ankle support is great, but the sole is firm. It's not uncomfortable, just… honest. If you want a pillow for your foot, look at a Jordan 13 or something. This is about style and heritage, pure and simple. Comparing it to newer Jordans? The Air Jordan 1 OG feels more "substantial" than, say, a Jordan 4. Less bulky than a 5 or 6, though. It's that perfect middle ground. This silhouette is just timeless – it goes with "literally" everything in your closet. That's the biggest pro. The con? That break-in period can be a bit stiff. Alright, let's get into these! First off, the unboxing - that classic "air jordan 1 retro high og" box never gets old. This "Chicago" colorway? "Absolutely" iconic. The red, white, and black just pop. The build quality looks solid, and that high-top silhouette is just timeless. At around $180 USD, you're paying for a legend. For me, that first look? It's all about the heritage.
