My feet were a bit tired, though – no sugarcoating it. The ankle support is great, but the footbed is basic. It's a shoe you wear "for the shoe itself", not for an invisible comfort experience. And you know what? That's perfectly okay for what it is. Wearing these, you understand the hype. The silhouette is "so" clean from every angle. However, I have to mention the break-in time—the leather needs a few wears to soften up. It's a trade-off for that classic structure. If you're new to Jordans, maybe start with a more comfortable model. But for OG purists? This 'Varsity Red' is essential. Now, the cons – because no shoe is perfect. The break-in period can be real; expect some initial stiffness. Also, that high-top can feel restrictive if you're not used to it. And honestly, for its price point, the materials can vary between colorways. Some are buttery soft, others are just okay. It’s something to keep in mind before you cop a pair. Let's talk on-feet feel. Just laced up this Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG. The ankle collar is stiff at first—it'll mold to you. They're not "comfortable" out the box, and that's okay. You buy this shoe for the statement. Visually, the high-top shape is unbeatable on camera. For $180 USD, it's a premium price for a heritage design. I love it for short outings and photos. But seriously, if you have wide feet, consider going up half a size. It's a legend, but it's not for everyone's lifestyle.
