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. Compared to other Jordans? This is the blueprint. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" has a narrower profile than an AJ5 or AJ6. It’s also lighter on foot than most. If you want history and a pure, clean sneaker aesthetic, this is it. But if modern tech and max cushion are your priority? Look at the Jordan 38 or even an Air Max. This is about heritage, "not" performance innovation. Here's my real take: the comfort won't blow you away, but you don't buy this shoe for that. You buy it for the unmatched versatility and cultural weight. Stepping out in a clean pair of Air Jordan 1 Retro High OGs? You just "feel" different. It's a confidence booster. For ~$180? If you love sneakers, it's worth it. Who is it "not" for? If comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG" is not for long days of walking, or if you have super sensitive feet. Also, if you're on a tight budget, there are more comfortable / and affordable options out there. This is an investment in style, not necessarily in all-day comfort.
