Nike Air Jordan 1 Chicago "Lost & Found" Release Details

Nike’s Jordan 1 is the pinnacle of sneaker design. It’s a model that defines the word timeless, remaining a constant of the footwear industry for over 35 years, breeding hundreds of colourways and collaborations in its wake. 

Of the litany of combinations and partnerships, it’s one design that has stood the test of time - the ineffably perfect palette of red, black and white, more commonly known as the “Chicago” colourway. 

First seen on the feet of Michael Jordan back in 1984, the shoes have since become an icon of an entire culture, representing a level of status for those who don the signature model, with the holiest of grails coming in the form of game-worn pairs that MJ himself graced with his size 13 feet. The aforementioned shoes often fetch upwards of $500k dollars at auction, with non-game worn, vintage pairs still going for a few thousand a pop.

Well, if you can’t afford to drop a months' wages on a pair of sneakers, Nike has you covered. The “Lost and Found” Jordan 1 High gives that same throwback feel, without the headache of crumbling soles or precious uppers. 

The OG Chicago Jordan 1 has been pre-aged to give a familiar patina over the cracked leather panelling and exposed mesh tongue, it's the classic black and red colourway we all know and love, with minor detailing that makes this version just that bit more special.

The shoe also comes in a vintage-style box, with an old timey receipt to complete the collector-oriented additions. 

Priced at $180, look out for the Nike Air Jordan 1 “Chicago”, when it drops on November 19th, at 3.p.m EST on Nike SNKRS.
