The cons? The break-in period and that firm ride I keep mentioning. They're not "comfortable" out of the box like modern sneakers. I'd recommend these to collectors or anyone who values iconic style over cushioning. If tech and comfort are your top priorities, this isn't your shoe. Okay, so here's the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in 'Obsidian'. Unboxing thoughts? The white leather is smooth, and that university blue hits perfectly—such a clean summer vibe. On feet, the break-in is real, folks. Initial steps are a bit rigid, but the lockdown is fantastic. This colorway looks incredible in natural light, way better than in stock photos. Compared to a Jordan 1 Mid, the quality here feels a step up. Pro: Extremely versatile and well-made. Con: That break-in period can be tough. Perfect for anyone building a versatile sneaker rotation. Not ideal if you need a shoe that's comfortable right out of the box. Let's talk durability: the "Air Jordan 1 Retro" is a tank. The toe box creases, sure, but it adds character. The outsole rubber is thick and should last forever with casual use. Compared to newer "Jordan" models with more tech, like the 34 or 36, these are about style and history, not performance. That's not a bad thing – it's just what they are. Alright, let's get these out of the box. First impression? The classic "Air Jordan 1 Retro" silhouette is just undeniable – this 'Black Toe' colorway is super clean. The leather feels decent, not the absolute best, but it's solid for the $180 price tag. Honestly, that shape just pops on camera.
