The shape is so clean — no wonky panels or odd lines. Compared to some of the recent, more padded retros, this OG build looks sleeker. I'm wearing the 'Royal' blue pair, and that contrast against the black is "insane". It's a shoe that "always" looks good in photos and in person. That's a massive win in my book. Honest first impressions of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Stage Haze': the materials feel good, not amazing, but good. The cracked leather and canvas mix is interesting.

Compared to some recent Jordan 1 Lows, I prefer the structure of the High. Pros: unique look within the OG line. Cons: typical firm ride. At $180 USD, it's for those who want a twist on the classic.
