It's that classic, slightly stiff "brand new" feel. For $180 USD, you're paying for the heritage & the look, which is honestly the main draw of any OG "Jordan series" release. Just a timeless silhouette. Conversely, who should "skip" it? If your priority is all-day comfort – like, you're on your feet for hours – there are better (and often cheaper) options. Performance ballers? Modern basketball shoes are lightyears ahead. And if you dislike a stiffer, more structured feel, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" might just sit in your closet. Know your needs. Sliding these on... wow. Honestly, the comfort is "not" why you buy this shoe. The air jordan 1 retro high og is pretty stiff out of the box. The ankle support is great, but it's a firm feel. Compared to a newer Jordan like the 3 or 4? Way less cushioning. You're getting style & support over cloud-like comfort, for sure. That's just the truth. So, here are the "'University Blue' Air Jordan 1 Retro High OGs". Opening the box, that color is just "vibrant" and clean. The leather quality on this one is actually pretty decent for a general release. Sliding them on, you get that classic, "secure" ankle lockdown. Compared to a Jordan 1 Mid, the High OG just has that "undeniable" silhouette. It’s perfect for adding a pop to your fit. Downside? The comfort level is, well, "historic"—don't expect Boost. Great for collectors and casual wear, not for all-day walks.
