The footbed is flat, and you feel the court-ready DNA. If you're used to Boost or React foam, this will feel like a step back – literally. But that's not why you buy it! You buy it for the unbeatable profile, the history. For pure, nostalgic style in the "Jordan series", few shoes compete. Just know what you're signing up for. On feet, the fit is true to size for me. The break-in period is real – they're stiff at first! The ankle support from the high-top is fantastic, though, a real throwback feel. Compared to newer Jordans, like a Jordan 5 or even a modern 1 Mid, the "air jordan 1 retro high og" is definitely less cushioned. It's about style and support over plush comfort. A fair trade-off for many, I think. Who are these for? Honestly, for sneakerheads who appreciate the history. For people building a foundational rotation. If you love that 80s basketball look, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is essential. It's also great for those who don't walk miles daily but want a sharp, stylish shoe. It's a legend for a reason, and wearing them "does" feel special. On foot – first thing you notice is the support, which is "fantastic". The high-top cut locks your ankle in. But let's be real: the cushioning is "firm" – it's an '85-era tech, after all. Don't expect cloud-like comfort! For me, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is about style and stability over plush feel. It's a trade-off you have to accept.
