Next to an AJ3 or AJ4, it's noticeably less cushioned. It's lighter than an AJ6, but more restrictive than an AJ11 in terms of flexibility. You get this shoe for the history and style, not performance tech. That's its main advantage - it's the originator. The downside? That same lack of modern comfort might be a dealbreaker for some. On feet, these look even better. The high-top shape just does something for your whole fit—it's legendary. I’ve worn other Jordans, but the "OG 1" has this unbeatable, clean profile. The leather will crease, that's a fact. But honestly? On camera and in person, the creases add character to this Jordan series staple. It’s a vibe. Honest opinion? This shoe is for collectors and style enthusiasts. The "air jordan 1 retro high og" is a cultural icon. It's not for serious basketball or long-distance walking. The pro is its unmatched legacy and look. The con is the dated, firm ride. At $180, you decide what you value more. For me, it's a wardrobe essential, flaws and all. 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".
