The iconic Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago” is making a much-anticipated comeback in Holiday 2025, reigniting the passion of sneakerheads and Jordan fans alike. Rooted deeply in basketball and streetwear history, this legendary colorway is more than just a sneaker—it’s a cultural statement.
A Legacy Reimagined
First introduced in 1985 in its high-top form, the “Chicago” colorway instantly became a symbol of Michael Jordan’s ascent and sneaker greatness. Fast forward to 2016, the low-top OG version debuted, keeping the soul of the original while offering a fresh, versatile silhouette. Now, nearly a decade later, Jordan Brand is bringing it back with renewed precision and a nod to its historic roots.
The Design: Timeless and Bold
Drenched in the unmistakable Varsity Red, Black, and Summit White palette, the 2025 Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago” delivers a vintage aesthetic wrapped in modern craftsmanship. Premium leather panels highlight the shoe’s quality, while signature elements like the Black Swoosh, Wings logo, and perforated white toe box bring depth and contrast. Varsity Red dominates key areas like the eyestays, heel, and outsole, creating an unmistakably bold profile that commands attention.
