The soft leather on some "Air Jordan 1 Retro" colorways creases almost immediately. Some people hate that, some people think it adds character. Personally? I don't mind it—it shows you wear your shoes! But if you're a "keep 'em crispy forever" collector, that might bug you. Just something to think about. So, this is the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Lucky Green'—a really clean color-blocking. Unboxing, the leather has a nice tumbled texture, especially on the green overlays. Fit is TTS for me, with that familiar, supportive hug. The white midsole and green combo looks super fresh in person. It's less common than your typical black/red or white/red Jordan 1s. Pro: High-quality materials and a standout-yet-wearable color. Con: Still has the classic firm Jordan 1 ride. Who should cop? Anyone looking for a quality AJ1 in a less-hyped color. Who shouldn't? Those only chasing the most iconic, OG colorways. Check out these ‘Shadow 2.0’ Air Jordan 1 Retros. This dark grey and black combo is stealthy and goes with "everything". For $170, it's a solid deal. Out of the box, the build feels robust. On foot, you get that classic, locked-in AJ1 feel—ankle support is great. Stylistically, it’s less flashy than some colorways, which I love for daily wear. Pro: Arguably the most wearable AJ1 colorway ever. Con: Like all 1s, ventilation isn’t great; your feet will get warm. This is the pair I'd recommend to someone who wants one do-it-all sneaker. Not for those who crave breathability or ultra-soft cushioning. On feet now. The fit is true to size for me. The break-in period is real, folks – they're stiff at first! The cushioning? Don't expect Boost or Zoom Air. It's a firm, flat feel, which I actually like for all-day wear. The "Air Jordan 1 Retro" is more about style than modern performance, and that's okay.
