Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG (Reimagined) "Royal": Review & On-Feet
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The beloved Air Jordan 1 "Royal" is back, but with a twist. These "Reimagined" Royals are crafted using a plush blue suede, with black nubuck layers instead of the traditional leather. This has the sneaker community talking - with some liking the change, and others despising it. Watch my review to learn more and let me know where you stand on this pair in the comments below!

It’s interesting how people hate these but can’t wait for the leather bred 4s, especially considering that both are classic color-ways.

Yeah. I don’t get it. People seem genuinely hyped about the 4s. I’m a fan of both even though I prefer the OGs of both. I bet if these Royal Reimagined were an SB collab, people would be going wild.
It's a definite consolation prize to the all leather 2017 joints. But these are growing on me, and I'm glad I copped!
I don't think there's ever been a sneaker I wanted as badly as I was indifferent to it😕. In theory, an all suede Jordan 1 in an OG colorway is a sneaker I've been waiting for for years. I prefer all suede sneakers to all leather sneakers. They just wear better. However, here we are and even after seeing them in hand multiple times i just dont even feel a true impulse to wear them.

One of the things I’m worried about is how these will wear, as I’m careful with my suede New Balance. As long as these are hit with waterproof spray, should these be ok?

I think the leather 1s look better with age and hold up. Suede doesn’t look as good once it gets worn in.

Instant cop for me. Need royals but just got into the sneaker game.
They are okay and that's it, nothing else to say. Nice review as usual Sean
I love all the blue Jordan 1s. From Royals to Storm Blues, I wanna own them all. So it was a no brained for me to get these, especially since I don’t have the 2017 ones. Suede, Nubuck or Satin I’m always picking up the Royals.
These are clean man. Im glad i got them
I love that these are sitting everywhere that makes them more likeable 😆. Might just cop since they are under retail now.
i love how these are sitting. ima swoop another pair once they go on sale. fuck the hype chasers. ima wear what i wanna wear.
Nice review Sean

Thank you kindly
Yeah, I love these.
I find myself wanting to wear these more than my 2017 royals. The blue just pops out more. I think people don't like it because they don't want to wear something that is sitting. But past that, I just think of it as an affordable pair of royals that I can beat up.

Something 95% of the ppl who “don’t want/need these” won’t admit. If these were limited, it would be “release of the year” 🙄. These are a go. Definitely double up worthy. Quality is A1
Yea I'm not a fan specifically because of the suede, I'm not a fan of reimagined bred 4s specifically because of the leather, Leave the OGs alone... Great Review King !
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Those Are Sitting Everywhere
These are a dope take on the Air Jordan 1 sneaker heads need to embrace the re-imagined series to what it stands for to re-imagine the sneaker from its original form.
Definitely grabbing a pair when they are in the $120 range
I doubled up on these beauties. I love this sneaker.
I really like these. Especially when you throw the blue laces in them. I would've 100% preferred a leather "reimagined" pair but I still like these. I think when Nike lets these go for 20-25% off, I may double up to have a pair to beat. 😮💨
First!!! Keep up the good work!!
Mine just arrived from Stockx ❤
Love it
Despite the material change. These are super clean. Gonna keep my eye on a price drop. Hopefully.

Got mine at the Nike outlets for $126
I like them. Got the 2017 pair as well but these pop a bit more.
Nice pair of kicks.For those who don’t like ‘em well …..more for us.
These are fire! People are overthinking the hype. I’m wear the shit out of these!
I really like them I also really like the patent banned/breds. Just something a little different :)
They seem to be sitting in stores at the moment. Will wait for a discount before I purchase them. Won't be paying even retail for these as I normally prefer a predominantly white shoe rather than the other way around
I love these and for them at a 20% off website discount. I’m happy. I love my 4’s etc but they are painful.
Copped these for 25% off on release day. Putting these on feet immediately! If I find another pair at 25 - 50%, I’m doubling up for sure!

Let everybody fuss and hate on these. I think they are a nice addition to my shelf and on foot.
the suede gives the colors more of a deeper rich look
What I don’t understand about most of these KZreadrs is the comments about the reimagined being off or not the same as the OG. Yes, that is EXACTLY the point of the reimagined series. It’s not suppose to be like the OG but instead with a twist. It’s all in the name so it’s like, huh? I have the L&F 1’s, the reimagined 3’s, the patent bred 1’s, the royal reimagine and they are all fire because you know where they came from. I never expected to be like OG because the OG’s of all I mentioned (except 1’s and 3’s) but let’s get it together KZreadrs, Yall need to provide better statements when it comes to releases like this. Been collecting for years, I know a thing or 2
Yea these are hard I liked them in hand
Might have to Grab em price will be up
these are cool. I will prob skip these for I have the 2017 version.
The suede makes it better imo.
you're right on being defective. I got a pair and the right shoe looked way crooked so had to return them to nike
I do worry about how these will wear over time. You won’t get the nice creasing, it will be warped instead
Actually fire that peeps are sleeping on
saw these sitting at the mall and after seeing them i 100% expect these to be half off eventually
I got ‘‘em this shoes
I got my pair for 177 CAD

if folks dun compare this with the OGs then it'll sell out eventually. Great materials tbh. it's human nature to wanna compare stuff.
Am i the only one to think that the blue tone is brighter ?!

Easy miss by JB this year. I’ll just wait for (hopefully) an 85 cut of these OGs maybe in like 10 years time because Jordan Brand never gives us what we want but instead gives us shits like this 😂

“Every shoe ain’t for you”…🤷🏽
People just want the same shoe re-released over and over again.
I've been really wanting a pair of Royals for a while now. I grabbed these for a friend during early access and I'm glad i passed for myself. The black material is nice, but i really hate the suede they used for the blue. The whole vibe is off for me, no matter how much i love this colorway. I think even on super discount it's a pass.

Easy pass. No one asked for an all suede royal 1. I'm sure anyone would prefer the traditional all leather royal. What if Jordan Brand reimagined all these retros with premium leather instead??? WHAT IF?!
if these were Travis Scott collab, people will sh8 their pants just to get these. what a bunch of hypocrites.
Suede 😂
