The collar can be stiff at first, and that firm midsole isn't for everyone. If you're used to React or Boost, this will feel like a brick. I love it, but be honest about what you need from a shoe. It's a lifestyle king, not a performance beast. Alright, let's get into it. First thing I noticed unboxing this Air Jordan 1 Retro High in the 'University Blue' colorway is how clean that color-blocking is. The materials feel decent for the $180 price point, honestly. The classic shape is just so iconic. My initial thought? This is a classic for a reason. Okay, so I just put on this "University Blue" Air Jordan 1 Retro High. The color-blocking is so clean in natural light—it really pops! However... walking around? You feel every step. The insole is basic, and the ankle collar, while supportive, needs breaking in. Compared to, say, a Jordan 3? It's a different world of cushioning. A perfect "style" piece, but manage your expectations for all-day wear. Let's talk looks on camera. This 'University Blue' pair just "pops". The "Air Jordan 1 Retro High" has a way of looking even better in real life than in photos. The way the light hits the leather panels... it's clean. For content creators, this shoe is a dream—it's a classic prop that everyone recognizes. It's a styling piece first, a performance shoe second. That's the honest truth with most "Jordan" retros, especially these OG highs.
