Love the look, but my feet were "definitely" asking for a break. The support is good, but cushioning is minimal. That's the reality of an OG model. This Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is perfect for collectors and style-focused wearers. If you need plush comfort for long hours on concrete, look elsewhere. Let's talk about the elephant in the room: comfort. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is built like a tank, which is great for durability and support, but not for cloud-like feel. After wearing them for a few hours, you'll definitely feel it. The pro? Unmatched ankle support and that iconic look. The con? It’s not a "all-day-everyday" shoe for everyone. For the Jordan series purist willing to break them in, it's perfect. For others, maybe try them on first. Here's my take: the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Chicago' is the grail for a reason. Unboxing it feels special. That 'Varsity Red' against the white is "chef's kiss". On foot, it's a statement. The high-top design is timeless. However—and this is key—the leather can crease easily. If that bothers you, maybe skip it. For collectors & fans of the Jordan series origin story? It's a must-have, even at $200+. In conclusion, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is a legend for a reason. The price, around $180 USD, reflects that status. It’s not the most innovative or comfortable shoe in my closet, but it might be the most worn. It teaches you about sneaker history just by putting it on. So, if you want comfort, look elsewhere. If you want a style icon you'll have for years? This is it.
