This 'Stage Haze' colorway is super wearable. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" will "never" go out of style. The cons? The creasing. The leather will crease, and for some people, that's a deal-breaker. I think it adds character. Also, the price point—it’s an investment piece, not an impulse buy. Let's talk looks on-camera. The shape on this specific "OG" remaster is "so" good – much better than some of the past releases. The toe box is sleek. The color-blocking – especially on a classic colorway – just "pops" in photos. It's a photographer's dream shoe. That's a huge advantage of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG design. Quick on-foot review. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is, in my opinion, a wardrobe essential. This colorway is super fresh. However, walking in them reminds you they're from 1985—ankle support is great, but underfoot is firm. They look better with wear, in my view. The price is steep for the tech you get, but you're not paying for tech. You're paying for the icon. Perfect for casual wear and collectors. Not perfect for all-day comfort or wide feet. Know what you're buying. Talking pros & cons? Major pro: style. It's arguably the most influential sneaker "ever". The construction on this retro is generally good. Con? The comfort - or lack thereof. If you need plush cushioning for all-day wear, look elsewhere. Also, the leather quality can vary between releases. For $180, you hope for the best. Personally? I think it's worth it for the iconic status.
