The first thing you'll notice? This isn't a modern, pillow-soft shoe. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" has a firm, almost board-like feel initially. But honestly? That's part of its charm - it's "raw". The ankle support / and leather wrap-around is fantastic, giving you that locked-in, classic hoops shoe sensation. It's not heavy, but you definitely feel its presence. Style-wise, nothing beats it. I’ve worn these with jeans, shorts, even smarter trousers—they just work. Compared to a low-top, the "high og" version offers more structure. The downside? They can be a bit warm in summer and less flexible. But for creating a classic sneakerhead silhouette? It's perfect. This is a top-tier Jordan series design. Alright, let's get this box open. First impression? It's a classic for a reason. This "air jordan 1 retro high og" in the 'University Blue' colorway just "nails" that iconic look. The leather feels decent right out of the box, not super premium but it's solid. The shape and the high-top silhouette? "Chef's kiss". It’s instantly recognizable. If you're new to the "Jordan" series, starting here with a classic OG colorway is never a bad move, even at around "$180 USD". Check out this latest pickup: the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Stage Haze'". Unboxing, I love the mix of white, grey, and that hit of red. It’s a clean, "summery" look. On foot, the fit is snug—I’d say maybe "half-size up" if you have wider feet. The silhouette is just "untouchable" for streetwear. For the "$180 USD" price tag, you're paying for the legacy and look. It’s a great entry into the Jordan 1 world. However, if you’re coming from ultra-comfy runners, the break-in period might feel a bit stiff.
