Air jordan 1 retro high og : Potential downside? The leather quality can vary "a lot" between colorways [m9d7qzmw]

Some are buttery, some are plasticky. Do your research on the specific pair! Also, the traction is just "okay" on super-smooth surfaces. For daily wear, it's fine. Just don't ball in them on a dusty court. Opening the box, the silhouette of the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is just "chef's kiss". This 'Bordeaux' colorway has such rich, deep tones. On foot, the high-top provides great lockdown, which I love. Compared to a Dunk High, the AJ1 has a narrower profile and often better materials. Is it worth the retail price? For this quality and iconic status in the Jordan series, I say yes. Just don't expect a revolution in foot comfort. Who should "avoid" it? If you need all-day, walk-all-over-the-city comfort, this isn't it. Also, if you have wider feet, the fit can be snug. And if you're on a tight budget—$180+ is a lot for a shoe with '90s tech. There are more comfortable and affordable options out there, for sure. This is a "want", not a "need". Final verdict from me. The "Jordan series" has many stars, but this is the sun everything orbits around. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" is a legend. It's perfect for collectors, for casual wearers wanting a classic, for anyone who appreciates design history. Not perfect for performance seekers or those needing maximal comfort. But as a piece of wearable history? It's essential. My advice? Try a pair on if you can.
