On this ‘Court Purple’ pair, the leather is decent! It’s not buttery premium, but it’s solid and should age nicely. The paint on the midsole can chip though, that's a common flaw. Just being real with you. It’s part of the deal with a lot of retros, honestly. Who is this for? Honestly, if you're new to sneakers / and want one iconic pair to start with... this is it. It's for the style-conscious person who appreciates history. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is for collectors and casual wearers alike. If you value timeless design over hyper-technology, you'll love having these in your closet. Walking around in them… The grip is excellent, no slipping. The break-in period is real, though—the heel might rub at first. Once molded, the fit is true to size and super secure. I love the look, but I have to mention: if you have wide feet, the "air jordan 1 retro high og" can feel narrow. Consider trying a half-size up for comfort. Okay, so I just got the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" in the 'White Shadow' colorway, and let's open this up. First thing I notice? The leather quality on this OG release is "solid", honestly. It's got that classic, slightly stiff but premium feel right out of the box. The shape is on point, just like the vintage pairs. At around $180 USD, you’re paying for that authentic Jordan series look, and for me, it's worth it. The silhouette is just timeless, man.
