The clashing colors work because of that classic shape. Pros? Unmatched style points and durability. Cons? Weight — it's a solid shoe — and that firm midsole. It's a statement piece. You buy this for the art, not for the all-day comfort. Simple as that. Just got my hands on the new Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in this neutral grey. "Unboxing" it, the leather has a nice texture. On foot, honestly, it feels like... a classic Jordan 1. It's supportive but the cushioning? Basic. The beauty is in the design & how it completes a fit. Compared to a Jordan 3 or 4, it's less comfortable but more iconic in profile. A great canvas for outfits. Not for performance, purely for fashion. On feet now. The fit is true to size for me, offering a secure wrap. The flat, firm sole isn't for long walks, I'll be real. But standing in them? You feel connected to the ground, stable. Visually, the 'Air Jordan 1 Retro' just works with "so" many fits—it's the versatility that makes it a staple in the Jordan series. Opening this 'Court Purple' box… that color is vibrant! Classic AJ1 construction—good, not perfect. Slip them on, and the heel lockdown is excellent. Honestly, they feel a bit "heavy" compared to some modern trainers. The style, though? Timeless. Pro: you get a bold, statement piece. Con: the toe box can crease pretty easily. I'd recommend these to anyone wanting a pop of color in their rotation. If you hate creases, maybe consider that.
