Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Chicago Lost and Found”

Description

The Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Chicago Lost and Found” is a nostalgic tribute to the iconic “Chicago” colorway, reimagined through a unique lens that tells a story of discovery and heritage. Released in 2022, this edition captures the essence of the original 1985 colorway while introducing a distressed and vintage aesthetic that gives the impression of a long-lost pair of sneakers, newly found and cherished. The upper is constructed with premium leather, featuring the classic Chicago blend of white, black, and varsity red panels. The “Lost and Found” theme is expressed through details like pre-scuffed areas, a yellowed midsole, and an aged look on the packaging, simulating a shoe box from the mid-80s, complete with retro branding and wear-and-tear.

This design choice not only pays homage to the Air Jordan 1’s storied past and Michael Jordan’s rookie year brilliance but also resonates with collectors and fans who appreciate the sneaker’s history and the narrative of rediscovery. The shoe maintains its legendary silhouette and performance features, including the Air sole unit for cushioning and the solid rubber outsole for traction, ensuring that the “Chicago Lost and Found” remains both a collector’s item and a functional piece of sports heritage. This release underscores the enduring legacy of the Jordan brand and its continuous influence on fashion, culture, and basketball.
