Just unboxed these Air Jordan 1 Retro High 'Gorge Green's. First off - the build is fantastic. For a $180 shoe, the leather has a nice tumbled grain, and that classic Jordan 1 shape... just looks so good. That green really pops under the lights, way more than in stock photos. An iconic shoe, no doubt. It's an essential for any sneaker collection. So, would I recommend it? Absolutely. Despite the firm ride, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High's design is timeless. It works for so many people. Grab a core colorway on sale if you can. It's a piece of footwear history you can actually wear, and that’s pretty special. Major pro? Timelessness. You can't go wrong with an Air Jordan 1 Retro High in a core color-blocking. It’s a sneaker that never goes out of style. The craftsmanship is generally consistent. Cons? That break-in period can be stiff, and the outsole traction on dusty floors isn't the best. Also, the creasing... you just have to embrace it! 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.
