The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ‘Chicago Lost & Found’ revives one of the most iconic colorways with a unique twist, celebrating the storied history of the Air Jordan 1. This special edition nods to the nostalgia of the original 1985 ‘Chicago’ colorway while introducing elements that evoke a sense of discovery and restoration.
The ‘Chicago Lost & Found’ features the classic combination of red, white, and black that has become synonymous with Air Jordan 1 releases. The design emulates a vintage find, with distressing effects on the packaging and a pre-aged appearance on the midsole to give the impression of a sneaker that has been rediscovered after years of storage. The upper retains its pristine condition, crafted from premium leather that balances durability with a soft, comfortable fit.
The color blocking remains true to the original, with bold red leather overlays at the toe, lace guard, and heel, contrasted against the clean white leather of the side panels and midsection. Black accents are used for the swoosh, laces, and ankle collar, enhancing the timeless appeal of this beloved silhouette. Perforations in the toe box maintain breathability, essential for both active and casual wear.
The midsole is equipped with Nike’s Air technology, encapsulated in the heel for responsive cushioning that protects against impact. This sits atop a durable rubber outsole that features a deep red color and a classic traction pattern, providing excellent grip and flexibility for everyday use.
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ‘Chicago Lost & Found’ is a piece of basketball and cultural history, reimagined for the modern collector. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer to the Jordan brand, this edition offers a unique take on a classic design, perfect for those who appreciate the legacy and lore of Michael Jordan’s first signature shoe. Add a touch of vintage flair to your collection and celebrate the heritage of the Air Jordan 1 with this distinctive release.
