Every time I lace up this Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG, I'm reminded why it's a pillar of the Jordan series. However, the ankle collar can be stiff and might dig in for some people. It's a design from '85, after all! So, if you have wider feet or prefer a more forgiving collar, maybe try it on first. The craftsmanship on my pair is pretty good! Stitching is clean, and the leather, while not buttery, has a nice grain. No glue stains or major flaws. For a mass-retro, it's well-made. Holding it, you appreciate the build – it feels substantial, not cheap. That OG high-top shape is just perfect. Every detail, from the Wings logo to the Nike Air tongue tag, feels correct. They nailed the retro spec. Alright, a quick on-foot of the classic "'Chicago' Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG". Honestly? The red and white just "never" get old. The leather is stiff out of the box, which is typical. Walking in them, you get that "secure" feel, but you definitely feel the court heritage—it’s not a "all-day-everyday" comfort shoe. At its core, this is a "piece of history". Worth the current resell (which is high!)? For a die-hard fan, maybe. For a casual wearer looking for comfort? Probably not. It's for the "O.G. enthusiast". The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" 'Royal Blue'—such a classic. The leather on these feels nice, not too stiff. Putting them on, the high-top really locks your ankle in. It's a confident feeling, you know? The blue pops in person, way more than on screen. This silhouette is the foundation of the whole Jordan series for a reason. But let's be real: the lack of modern cushioning is a con for some. If you're chasing pure comfort, this isn't it. For style and heritage? 100% worth it.
