Also, if you prefer your kicks "pristine and clean", the intentional distressing will bug you. And if you're on a tight budget — there are more affordable (and comfier) Jordans in the series. It's a specific vibe. So, who is this shoe for? Honestly, it's for the collector, the storyteller, the Jordan history fan. If you appreciate the narrative behind a release and love that worn-in vintage aesthetic from the jump, you'll adore these. It's also for anyone who missed out on Chicago's before and wants the iconic look with a unique twist. For $180, it feels like a special piece for your collection, not just another retro. Now, a real talk con: the price. At $180 USD, it’s steep for a shoe with a break-in period. Also, the pre-aged look might not be for everyone — some folks prefer a crisp, new leather. And if you need plush cushioning? Look elsewhere. This is about style & heritage, not cloud-like comfort. Now, the "not-for-everyone" part. That stiff leather? It might hurt your ankles day one. The pre-yellowed sole? Some hate that. It's also a "loud" shoe; you gotta style it with confidence. If you prefer low-key, wearable kicks, this ain't it. It's a "statement piece" from the Jordan series, through and through.
