The sole softens a bit. For walking around, they're totally acceptable. The high-top can feel restrictive if you're not used to it – that's a potential con. But the pros? That timeless look never quits. It's a shoe you buy for the long haul, for its place in culture. Worth $180? For the right person, absolutely. Potential downside? The leather quality can vary "a lot" between colorways. Some are buttery, some are plasticky. Do your research on the specific pair! Also, the traction is just "okay" on super-smooth surfaces. For daily wear, it's fine. Just don't ball in them on a dusty court. On camera, these things shine. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG has such a photogenic profile. My real-world wear test? They're fine for a few hours, but you'll feel the lack of cushion. It's a trade-off: you get timeless design for less-than-modern comfort. Compared to the newer Jordan 1 Zoom models, these are much stiffer. I recommend them for anyone building a classic sneaker rotation. Not recommended for folks who prioritize comfort above all else. Simple as that. Who is this shoe for? Honestly, for sneakerheads who value history, & for fashion-minded folks who want a cornerstone piece. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" is a legend in the "Jordan series" for a reason. Who is it NOT for? People seeking plush comfort, or those who want the latest tech. It's a style investment, not a performance one. My final take? A closet essential.
