0s today. The advantage of a grey/black Air Jordan 1 Retro? It goes with literally "everything". The build quality on this specific release is really consistent. The downside? That classic, inflexible midsole. Don't plan on running a 5K. It's a fashion-first, lifestyle sneaker from the Jordan series—and it excels at exactly that. Alright, so I just got the "Air Jordan Retro 1" High OG in the 'University Blue' colorway, and straight out the box? The quality is actually pretty solid for a GR. The leather has a nice, smooth finish and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". At $180 USD, it's your typical Jordan price point. My first impression is really positive—it's a clean, classic look that never gets old. The biggest pro here? It's the legacy. Wearing an "Air Jordan 1" is like wearing a piece of history. The design is simply iconic and goes with almost anything. For the $180 USD price tag, you're paying for that status and that timeless look. The construction on my pair feels durable, like it'll age well with some creasing. Now, the not-so-great. That classic feel means a stiff, break-in period – your feet "will" feel it the first few wears. Also, at $180 USD, you're paying for the history and the look, not for cutting-edge tech. If you need all-day, walk-around comfort, there are "way" better modern options. The "Air Jordan Retro 1" is a style-first, function-second shoe. Just keeping it real.
