It's for the sneakerhead who appreciates history. It's for someone wanting a cornerstone piece in their collection. The Air Jordan 1 Chicago isn't for the performance seeker or someone who hates breaking in shoes. For them, the $180 could go towards a more modern model. Biggest pro? The versatility and the legacy. This colorway is the most famous for a reason. It’s a sneaker you can wear for decades and it’ll always be cool. The materials on this release are generally good — nice, smooth leather that should crease in a classic way. It’s a piece of sneaker history you can actually walk in.
