Every retro brings that classic feeling. The build is solid, the colors are legendary, and on foot, you feel that heritage. It has its flaws – mainly comfort – but the pros heavily outweigh them.

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?

Unboxing this pair, you immediately feel the history. The construction is solid, & that high-top silhouette is just timeless. For $180 USD, you're paying for that legacy.
