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+. Who should maybe skip it? If you have wide feet, be cautious - the fit can be narrow. If you need arch support or are on your feet all day, look at something with more tech. Also, if you hate seeing creases on your toe box, this leather will show wear quickly. The "Air Jordan 1" experience isn't for everyone, and that's totally okay. Alright, let's unbox these. First impression? The shape on this "air jordan 1 retro high og" is just "chef's kiss" – so classic. The leather feels decent, not amazing, but it's solid for the price point (~$180). Holding it up, that high-top silhouette is instantly recognizable. It's a cornerstone of the "Jordan series" for a reason – simple, but powerful. You just know what you're getting. Comparing it to other 1s, like a Mid or a Low, the High OG just has that presence. The ankle collar, the way it laces up... it's the definitive version. Is it worth the $180? For this specific colorway, yeah. You're paying for that heritage. But try it on first if you can—the fit can be tricky.
