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. Unboxing this pair, the 'University Blue' color just pops, man. The white leather panels are nice and tumbled. Putting them on, the fit is true to size – but that initial break-in period is real. The ankle collar is stiff! It’s not the most comfortable Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG right out of the box, I’ll be honest. You gotta wear these in to get that perfect feel. Final verdict time. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is a must-have for any sneaker enthusiast, period. My pair, the 'Light Smoke Grey', is beautifully made. The pros: iconic design, durable build, and endless styling options. The cons: firm ride and a break-in needed. At its $180 USD price point, it’s about owning a piece of history. I'd recommend it to collectors and fashion fans. If you prioritize comfort above all else? This might not be your daily driver. Alright, let's get into these. Just unboxed the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in 'University Blue', and wow, that color really pops in hand. The leather feels "pretty" solid for a GR release. First thing you notice is that classic, "iconic" silhouette—it just never gets old. Throwing these on, the fit is true to size with a snug, supportive wrap around the ankle. It's a stiff break-in, though, no lie. For $180, you're paying for the history and the look. If you want a comfortable all-day shoe? Look elsewhere. But for a style piece? Absolutely iconic.
