The design team behind the 2022 Air Jordan 1 Chicago took a unique approach, aiming to infuse the shoe with an intriguing narrative and a sense of connection. Their goal was to create a look and feel deeply rooted in a historical context, potentially unfamiliar to many consumers. In the end, Jordan Brand's aspiration is for both traditionalists and the new generation of consumers to appreciate the beauty of the shoe's underlying story.
Colorway and Material.
This pair puts a twist on the iconic 'Chicago' colorway with a vintage touch. The silhouette features a smooth white leather base with red overlays and a black Swoosh. The collar is made of an aged material for a worn-in appearance. Branding elements such as the black Wings logo and red tongue tag complete the design, inspired by the shoe's original 1985 release.
