The sole softens a bit. For walking around, they're totally acceptable. The high-top can feel restrictive if you're not used to it – that's a potential con. But the pros? That timeless look never quits. It's a shoe you buy for the long haul, for its place in culture. Worth $180? For the right person, absolutely. On foot now. Honestly, the comfort is… fine? Don't expect modern cushioning. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" feels sturdy – like a classic basketball shoe (because it is!). The ankle support is great, but the sole is firm. It's not uncomfortable, just… honest. If you want a pillow for your foot, look at a Jordan 13 or something. This is about style and heritage, pure and simple. Wearing these out, the compliments are real. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" in a classic 'Black/White' just works with everything. My first impression was how structured it is—it holds its shape perfectly. The advantage is its timeless design and incredible versatility. The potential drawback is the price; at ~$180 USD, it's an investment. I'd recommend it to anyone building a core sneaker rotation. If you need max cushioning, though, look at the Jordan 3 or 4 instead. Unboxing this "Shadow" version was a vibe. The grey & black combo is super versatile – less loud than other OGs, which I appreciate. The build quality on my pair is good. Wearing them, the toe box has decent room. The biggest advantage? Its styling power is endless. The possible downside? It's a common silhouette now, so don't expect to be super unique.
