First thing I notice? The leather quality on this OG release is "solid", honestly. It's got that classic, slightly stiff but premium feel right out of the box. The shape is on point, just like the vintage pairs. At around $180 USD, you’re paying for that authentic Jordan series look, and for me, it's worth it. The silhouette is just timeless, man. Sliding these on... wow. Honestly, the comfort is "not" why you buy this shoe. The air jordan 1 retro high og is pretty stiff out of the box. The ankle support is great, but it's a firm feel. Compared to a newer Jordan like the 3 or 4? Way less cushioning. You're getting style & support over cloud-like comfort, for sure. That's just the truth. Comparing it to other Jordans? Let's be real. If you want comfort, go for an AJ4 or a 13. But for pure style / and that timeless look? Nothing beats the original. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is the foundation. The toe box shape, the height... it's "the" reference point. Newer models might be more comfortable, but they're all standing on the shoulders of this giant, you know? Okay, guys, let's get into these Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Breds'. Right out of the box, the build quality is "solid". That classic silhouette just "never" gets old. The leather? It's decent – not the absolute best, but it creases nicely. At around $180 USD, it's a staple. You're really paying for the history and that iconic look here.
