The 4s have that air unit; these are much firmer. But for pure style points and that timeless basketball aesthetic, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro" still wins for me. It's the foundation of the entire "Jordan series". You can't go wrong having one in your collection. 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. I've worn these 'University Blue' ones for a day. The look is amazing – they go with everything. But that stiff break-in period is real! If you're used to React or Air Max, the "Air Jordan 1 Retro" will feel like a brick initially. It gets better, but it's a process. Here’s the real talk on the on-feet feel. Laced up these "Air Jordan 1 Retro" highs, and... yeah, the comfort is... fine? It's a classic basketball shoe from the '80s, so don't expect modern foam. The ankle lockdown is great! But the footbed is firm. Compared to, say, a Jordan 4? It's definitely less forgiving for all-day wear. That's just the truth of this model, you know?
