The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is like a great pair of jeans – it's not the most comfortable thing at first, but it molds to you and always looks right. It connects you to the roots of the Jordan series. Just know what you're buying: a legend, not a cloud. Real talk: the "air jordan 1 retro high og" isn't a performance shoe in 2024. It's a fashion statement rooted in sports history. On foot, it's narrow for some – wide-footers, maybe size up. The ankle padding is thick, which I love for support. Compared to a modern Jordan 37? Completely different world. This is about celebrating where it all started. A lifestyle essential, not a tech marvel. So, here are the "'University Blue' Air Jordan 1 Retro High OGs". Opening the box, that color is just "vibrant" and clean. The leather quality on this one is actually pretty decent for a general release. Sliding them on, you get that classic, "secure" ankle lockdown. Compared to a Jordan 1 Mid, the High OG just has that "undeniable" silhouette. It’s perfect for adding a pop to your fit. Downside? The comfort level is, well, "historic"—don't expect Boost. Great for collectors and casual wear, not for all-day walks. Unboxing this "Shadow" version was a vibe. The grey & black combo is super versatile – less loud than other OGs, which I appreciate. The build quality on my pair is good. Wearing them, the toe box has decent room. The biggest advantage? Its styling power is endless. The possible downside? It's a common silhouette now, so don't expect to be super unique.
