According to reports, Jordan Brand is set to celebrate how it started with a release celebrating the Air Jordan 1 “Chicago.” The Air Jordan 1 Reimagined “Chicago” is an updated take on the classic set to arrive later this year.

Reportedly centered around a vintage aesthetic, the shoe will feature the iconic “White/Varsity Red/Black” colorway. The shoe itself will also express a silhouette closer to the model released back in 1985 with an improved toebox design.

Back in 1985, Michael Jordan ushered in Jordan Brand with the Air Jordan 1 in a “banned” red and black colorway. After paying fines due to an NBA player gear policy around bright and bold colors, the league approved the “Chicago” colorway created by MJ and Jordan Brand. Since being worn on the court, the shoe has become an integral part of sneaker culture as we know it today.

Stay tuned for more details regarding the release of the Air Jordan 1 Reimagined “Chicago” expected to arrive this holiday season.
