The high-top profile is legendary for a reason. I'm wearing a neutral colorway, and it's incredibly easy to style. The ankle support is real—great for casual wear. Downsides? They can feel a bit heavy & clunky at first. Not the best for wide feet, either. Worth $180? For a foundational sneaker in your rotation, absolutely. For performance basketball? Obviously not. Alright, let's get into these! First off, the unboxing - that classic "air jordan 1 retro high og" box never gets old. This "Chicago" colorway? "Absolutely" iconic. The red, white, and black just pop. The build quality looks solid, and that high-top silhouette is just timeless. At around $180 USD, you're paying for a legend. For me, that first look? It's all about the heritage. Putting them on… immediate thoughts? The ankle support is fantastic—super secure. But let's be real: the cushioning? It's firm. You're not getting Boost or Zoom Air comfort here. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" is about that classic feel. It's a heavier shoe, you can feel it. If you prioritize plush comfort above all, this might not be your #1 pick for all-day wear. 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.
