The toe box on these "Air Jordan 1"s will crease, and it'll happen fast. Some people hate that, but I think it adds character — it shows you wear your kicks! If you're someone who wants your sneakers to look pristine forever, this might stress you out. For me, it's part of the journey. The leather develops a story, which is kinda cool. Alright, let's get into this. So, first impression unboxing this "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" — the "Chicago" colorway, to be specific. Honestly? The build quality feels solid, that classic high-top silhouette is just timeless. At around $180 USD, you’re paying for that heritage, that history. The red, white, and black combo "never" misses, and the leather has a nice grain to it. It’s an icon for a reason. Box opening time. This Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'University Blue' is clean. The color blocking is "perfect" — a true OG style. On foot, they feel... classic. That means firm cushioning and a break-in period. Compared to newer J's like the 3 or 4, these are less comfortable but more timeless style-wise. The pros? Unmatched looks and wardrobe options. The cons? They're not for long walks, in my honest opinion. If you're new to Jordans, this is a cornerstone piece. If you need plush comfort, you might be disappointed. Alright, let's get into this "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG". The box is classic, and pulling these out? That silhouette is just "perfect". The leather feels premium, way better than some recent releases, and the color blocking is so clean. At around $180 USD, for this level of quality in a core OG colorway, it feels justified. It’s that iconic look you "have" to have in the collection.
