Visually, they're a 10/10. The biggest pro is simply wearing a piece of "sneaker history". The con? That classic sole is not the grippiest on wet surfaces.

That classic "Air Jordan 1 Chicago" silhouette is timeless. The red is vibrant, the leather feels premium—no complaints on the construction for this price point. On feet, they're snug—in a good way—but they have some weight to them. They look incredible in person, way better than in pictures. Compared to newer J's, they're definitely less cushioned.
