Some sneakers never run out of time. The Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” is one of them — a shoe that didn’t just shape Michael Jordan, but an entire generation.

Four decades later, it returns as a low-top version that captures the spirit of the original, refined with fresh details for today.

First released in 2016, the ‘Chicago’ version of the Air Jordan 1 Low OG brings back a true classic.

Varsity Red and Summit White leather meet smooth black Swooshes, their oversized shape subtly echoing the early days of the Jordan era.

The branding stays true to the original: Nike Air on the tongue and insole, paired with the iconic Wings logo on the heel.

The result is a sneaker that perfectly bridges retro charm and modern attitude — a statement for those who know where it all began.
