Air Jordan 1 White/Black Retro vs. OG Comparison

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

As promised yesterday in our Throwback Thursday article, we have a detailed Retro vs. OG comparison of the Air Jordan 1.

The White/Black Air Jordan 1 returns for the first time in 23 years in the 22/1 Countdown Package. Though we were told that the shoes went back to having a high cut, well, so close but not quite as you can see to the right. There are a few other minuscule differences between the retro and the original, but they definitely should not be enough to hold you back from grabbing a classic pair of Air Jordans.

A bit of a disclaimer, we threw in some black laces to replace the stock white threads to give it a more original feel. Take a tour of the two shoes in the official retro vs. OG comparison after the jump.
