This isn't a sneaker you baby; it's one you wear and beat up. That's when it looks its best, in my opinion. How do they look in real life? Even better than in pictures.

The Air Jordan 1 Chicago is "the" definitive colorway. You feel connected to that legacy when you wear them. Are they the most comfortable Jordan 1? No. But the look, the prestige... it's worth it for the right person. Just know what you're getting into.
