The leather won't amaze you, but it's durable. It'll crease, "obviously", but that's part of the story with a Jordan 1. The construction feels sturdy, like it'll last for years. For the price, I've seen better, but I've also seen worse. It's a standard, reliable retro build from Nike/Jordan. No major complaints from me on that front. My final take? For the price, it's a definite recommend for a specific person. You're buying into the iconic Jordan 1 legacy, just in its most wearable form. The black Air Jordan 1 isn't trying to be the star of the show; it's the best supporting actor in your wardrobe. It’s a sneaker you’ll wear for years because it never goes out of style. Hey, what's up guys. Just got the "black" Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in hand. First impression? The all-black colorway is "super" clean and premium. The leather feels nice, maybe not the absolute "top-tier", but the construction is solid. That classic silhouette just never gets old. For $180 USD, it's a classic Jordan look. On foot, the all-black look is "incredibly" versatile. It goes with literally everything — jeans, joggers, even smarter pants. The matte black leather doesn't show creases as badly as some other Jordans, which is a huge plus for daily wear. This is a wardrobe staple, no doubt.
