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. Alright, let's get into these. Just unboxed the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in 'University Blue', and wow, that color really pops in hand. The leather feels "pretty" solid for a GR release. First thing you notice is that classic, "iconic" silhouette—it just never gets old. Throwing these on, the fit is true to size with a snug, supportive wrap around the ankle. It's a stiff break-in, though, no lie. For $180, you're paying for the history and the look. If you want a comfortable all-day shoe? Look elsewhere. But for a style piece? Absolutely iconic. Let's talk pros and cons. Pro: the versatility. You can wear this with "anything". Jeans, shorts, joggers—it just works. Con: the break-in period is real. My heels were talking to me after the first hour. Still, for the iconic status of the "air jordan 1 retro high og", it's a trade-off I'm willing to make. Let's talk looks. On camera and in person, this shoe just works. The "Bred" (Black/Red) color blocking is so versatile. It pops against jeans, it looks sharp with joggers – it's a wardrobe staple. The beauty of the "air jordan 1 retro high og" is in its simplicity. No crazy textures, just clean panels. A true sneaker icon that never tries too hard. That's its biggest strength, honestly.
