Paying retail (around $180 USD) for a classic OG colorway like 'Shadow' or 'Bred' is justifiable. The quality is there, and you're getting a piece of history. Would I pay huge resale? Probably not. The value is in wearing them, not just holding them. My advice? If you love the "Air Jordan 1" silhouette, grab an OG pair at retail and actually enjoy them. Let's talk pros and cons. Pro: the versatility. You can wear this with "anything". Jeans, shorts, joggers—it just works. Con: the break-in period is real. My heels were talking to me after the first hour. Still, for the iconic status of the "air jordan 1 retro high og", it's a trade-off I'm willing to make. Final recommendation: Buy these to wear, not just to stock. They get better with age and creases. Perfect for collectors who also wear their kicks, or for someone wanting their first major Jordan. Avoid if you have wide feet or need arch support. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" is a style icon, not a comfort icon. Who is this for? Honestly, it's for "almost" every sneakerhead at some point. If you appreciate sneaker history, want a cornerstone for your collection, or just need a pair that elevates your casual fits, the "air jordan 1 retro high og" is a must.
