Every time I lace up this Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG, I'm reminded why it's a pillar of the Jordan series. However, the ankle collar can be stiff and might dig in for some people. It's a design from '85, after all! So, if you have wider feet or prefer a more forgiving collar, maybe try it on first. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 3 or 4? Big difference in tech. Those have visible Air units—more cushion. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" is the blueprint. Its biggest pro? Versatility. You can dress it up or down. The con? That classic build means break-in time. For $180, you're buying an icon, not a tech marvel. It's simple, but effective. Let's talk pros and cons. Pros: Unbeatable style. The "OG" high-top is iconic for a reason. Build quality is usually consistent. It's a versatile sneaker that works with tons of fits. Cons, like I said: comfort isn't one of them. It's a flat, firm ride. Also, the creasing... the leather will crease, no way around it. If you're a comfort-first person, this classic "Air Jordan 1" might disappoint you on foot. What's up, everyone? Got the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG on feet today. Immediate impression? They're heavier and more structured than modern sneakers. The leather creases quickly, which—love it or hate it—adds character. Compared to a Jordan 1 Low, the high-top feel is "way" more secure. The 'University Blue' panels look incredible against the black and white. Honestly, the main advantage is versatility in outfits. Disadvantage? Arch support is minimal. I'd recommend these to collectors and style-focused folks, not performance seekers.
