The leather quality here is "fantastic"—buttery soft. On foot, they feel premium. The blue is deep and rich. However, that softer leather might not hold its shape as long as the stiffer OG cuts. At $185, it's a premium price for a premium feel. If you love luxury touches on a classic, this is for you. If you prefer the original, tougher build, maybe pass. The materials on this specific ‘University Blue’ pair are pretty nice! The white leather panels are smooth, and the suede-like blue feels premium. Unboxing a fresh pair of the "air jordan 1 retro high og" is always a joy. The construction feels solid—no glue stains I can see. For the Jordan series, this retro represents a high-quality release, especially at this price point. Is it worth the $180+ USD price tag? For me, yes – if you’re buying into the culture. The craftsmanship on my pair is good, no major flaws. Wearing the "Air Jordan 1" gives you a certain confidence. It’s not the most comfortable shoe in my collection, but it’s one of the most "satisfying" to own and wear. It’s an investment in a classic silhouette. On feet, the visual impact is undeniable. The high-top cut "really" makes a statement, and this OG colorway pops against jeans or shorts. For me, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is a design that looks even better in person than in photos. That elevated, slightly bulky profile just works. It’s a shoe that "commands" attention without trying too hard.
