It’s that kind of shoe. The design is so timeless. Versus a Dunk? The AJ1 Chicago has more heritage, in my opinion. Pro: legendary status. Con: the sole is flat and hard for long walks. Know what you're buying into. Is the "Air Jordan 1 Chicago" worth it? For a collector or a fan of the culture — 100%. You're getting a masterpiece. For someone who needs all-day, walking-around comfort? Maybe not. It's a flat, firm ride. I'd recommend it to anyone building a core sneaker rotation. If you're just looking for a comfy gym or errand shoe? Look at the Jordan 3s or something with more Air. Comparing it to other Jordans? If you have other Jordan 1s, you know the fit. The "air jordan 1 chicago" stands out purely on color. Next to a modern Jordan like the 37? It's night and day in tech & comfort. But for pure, iconic style within the Jordan series, this one is untouchable. It's the OG that started it all for a reason. Now, a real talk "con": The comfort. Don't expect Boost or Zoom Air cloud-like feel. The midsole is stiff, especially during the first few wears. Also, the toebox creases... a lot. If you're someone who needs all-day walking comfort or hates creasing, the classic "air jordan 1 chicago" might frustrate you. It's a trade-off.
