~$180 for this purple? Worth it. The leather is surprisingly soft! On foot, they feel... classic. A bit heavy, but super secure. Visually? These are "fire" in person – the purple just shines. Compared to other jordan air 1 colorways, these stand out without being crazy. Perfect for adding a splash of color to your rotation. If you only wear neutrals, maybe not. But for sneakerheads wanting something different? Go for it. Hey what's up everyone, just got this new pair of Jordan Air 1 'Chicago' in hand. First thing you notice? That iconic silhouette is "clean". The leather feels pretty decent for this $180 price point, nothing crazy premium but solid. Unboxing it, you just "know" you're holding a piece of history. It's the classic that started it all. Let's compare for a sec: if you're coming from a more modern Jordan— like a cushioned 13 or a 35— the "Jordan 1" will feel flat and stiff, no question. But that’s not its purpose! Compared to other retro models, it's similar to a Dunk in weight and feel. Its strength is in its timeless look and cultural weight, not tech innovation. That's the key difference right there. Alright, let's get into these. First "impression" unboxing this 'Chicago OG' colorway? The classic "Jordan Air 1" shape is just perfect. The leather quality here feels solid—not super-premium, but definitely good for the $175-$200 price point. The red, white, and black combo is simply iconic. It's a piece of history right out of the box. As a foundational "Jordan" silhouette, it sets the standard.
