The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG fits true-to-size for me. The break-in is real, though. Initially, they're snug, especially around the ankle. But after a few wears, the leather molds nicely. There's minimal cushioning—let's be honest, it's basically just a thin Air unit. So, for all-day comfort? Maybe not. But for style? Unbeatable. What's up everyone, opening this box... and man, the OG-style Nike Air box itself just "hits differently". Pulling out this "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" in the classic 'Bred' colorway... the leather feels solid, not super plush, but you know, "authentic". That iconic silhouette - the high top, the swoosh - it's "the" blueprint. For around "$180 USD", you're paying for history in your hands. It just looks / feels undeniably "correct". Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 3 or 4? The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is definitely less cushioned. It’s the foundation of the Jordan series, so you feel that raw, connected feel. I love it for shorter wear sessions or style-focused days. The look is just unbeatable. If you want a modern performance feel, look elsewhere. But for iconic aesthetics? This is it. Comparing it to modern Jordans like the Jordan 5 or 13? The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is "all" about style, not performance tech. You buy this for the heritage and the crisp look. The materials on this 'Court Purple' version are decent—better than some GR releases. For $180 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that still dominates streetwear.
