The heel and the top of the ankle collar? They "will" rub. I'm talking potential blisters for the first few wears. You "need" to wear thicker socks. It's a common issue with the "air jordan 1 retro high og" that no one talks about enough. The comfort does improve, but you have to earn it. It's not a slip-on-and-go kind of sneaker right away. To wrap it up: this shoe isn't trying to be something it's not. It's a faithful retro of a classic. The silhouette is sharp, the colors are bold. On foot, it makes a statement. For around $180, you're getting a piece of history. I'd recommend it to any sneakerhead. For pure performance seekers? Maybe skip it. But for style? The "air jordan 1 retro high og" remains, in my book, untouchable. The unboxing experience for this 'Dark Mocha' pair was sweet. The materials have a nice tumble, and the color blocking is just "chef's kiss". On foot, the toe box has a bit more room than some modern sneakers, which I prefer. Wearing these, you instantly understand why the Jordan series blew up. However, that stiffer construction means they can dig into your ankle at first – thick socks are a must! For a $180 sneaker, the value is in the design legacy, not groundbreaking tech. Who are these for? If you're a sneakerhead who values history and style over all-day comfort, this is your grail. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" is perfect for short wears, outfits, and just looking cool. But if you need a shoe for all-day walking or you prioritize cushioning... maybe look at a Jordan 13 instead.
