The high-top cut makes your legs look better, it's a fact. On camera, that clean color blocking - like this "University Blue" pair - really pops.

If you want a style icon you'll have for years? This is it. Alright, let's get into this "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG". The box is classic, and pulling these out? That silhouette is just "perfect". The leather feels premium, way better than some recent releases, and the color blocking is so clean. At around $180 USD, for this level of quality in a core OG colorway, it feels justified. It’s that iconic look you "have" to have in the collection. Alright, so I just got the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" in the ‘University Blue’ colorway, and the box is right here... Let's go.
