It's got that firm, traditional basketball shoe feel – you'll feel the court, for sure. The ankle support & lockdown from the high-top is great, though! Compared to a modern Jordan like the 3 or 4, it's definitely less cushioned. But the "style"? Unbeatable. It's a shoe you wear for the look, 100%. If you need all-day cloud-like comfort, maybe look elsewhere. Is it worth the price? At the $180-$200 USD retail, I think so – you're getting a well-made piece of footwear history. But on the resell market for crazy prices? That's a personal call. The value is in wearing it, not just holding it. The quality on these recent OG releases has been pretty consistent, which is a plus. Is the "air jordan 1 retro high og" worth the $180 price tag? For design & heritage alone, I say yes. The craftsmanship here feels premium, and it’s a shoe that literally goes with everything. The downside? That classic court feel means minimal cushioning. It’s not for long days on concrete. But for style points? It's always a win. Compared to other Jordans? This is the blueprint. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" has a narrower profile than an AJ5 or AJ6. It’s also lighter on foot than most. If you want history and a pure, clean sneaker aesthetic, this is it. But if modern tech and max cushion are your priority? Look at the Jordan 38 or even an Air Max. This is about heritage, "not" performance innovation.
