True to size for me. The leather needs some wears to soften up — that's the honest truth. Once it molds to your foot, the fit is great. The "advantage" is the lockdown; your foot isn't sliding around. But if you have wider feet, this might feel restrictive. For $180+, you're paying for the iconic Chicago配色, not for cutting-edge comfort. Manage those expectations. Sliding these on... okay, immediate thoughts. The Air Jordan 1 Chicago feels "exactly" like you'd expect an AJ1 to feel. It's not plush or bouncy – it's firm, supportive. The ankle collar gives you that classic, locked-in wrap. If you're new to 1s and coming from something like a React- or Boost-equipped shoe? The cushioning might feel a bit... basic, honestly. It's all about that court-feel. So, who is this for? 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. Alright, so the "Air Jordan 1 Chicago" is finally here "again". The box, the classic red and white colors... it’s an instant flashback. Opening it up, the craftsmanship on this 2022 release looks solid—no major flaws on my pair. The silhouette is just "perfect". At around $180 USD, it's a premium price for a premium piece of history. If you're a collector or love classic sneakers, this is a must. But honestly? It’s not the most comfortable daily shoe.
