If you need arch support or are on your feet all day, look at something with more tech. Also, if you hate seeing creases on your toe box, this leather will show wear quickly. The "Air Jordan 1" experience isn't for everyone, and that's totally okay. Here's my honest take: the biggest "pro" of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is its versatility. This shoe works with "literally" everything—jeans, shorts, joggers. The "Shadow" colorway I got is a perfect neutral. The con? That classic, stiff sole. If you're used to React or Boost, you'll find the ride pretty firm. It's a trade-off for that iconic look. Major pro: timelessness. This design "literally" never gets old. Whether it's a new retro or an OG color, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" always has demand. The versatility is insane – jeans, shorts, joggers, it works. It's the foundation of the entire Jordan series. You can't go wrong having a pair in your rotation. Opening the box, the silhouette of the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is just "chef's kiss". 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.
