The Chicago Colorway Returns in Low-Top Form
For Holiday 2025, Jordan Brand is bringing back one of the most beloved looks in sneaker history — the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago”. It’s been nearly a decade since we last saw this low-top icon hit shelves, and the 2025 edition stays faithful to the formula that’s made the Chicago color scheme a cultural staple.
Classic Colors, Premium Build
Dressed in Varsity Red, Summit White, and Black, this pair captures the same energy that turned heads back in ’85. Crisp white leather makes up the quarter panels and toe box, while bold red overlays wrap the forefoot, eyestays, and heel. A jet-black Swoosh cuts through the side, matching the laces, collar lining, and Nike Air branding on the tongue tag.
Heritage Details With Subtle Tweaks
The build leans on Jordan Brand’s heritage playbook — leather construction, a retro Nike Air woven tongue tag, and the OG Wings logo stamped on the heel. This time around, an oversized Swoosh and an extra eyelet bring a small update without taking away from the original DNA. Underfoot, a clean white midsole sits atop a red rubber outsole, finishing the look that has defined generations of sneaker style.

From ’85 to the Streets
When the Air Jordan 1 debuted in 1985, Nike released it in both high-top and low-top forms — a move that gave players and everyday wearers more ways to rep Michael Jordan’s first signature sneaker. Among the original lineup, the “Chicago” colorway stood out instantly. The bold mix of red, white, and black wasn’t just eye-catching on court; it became a symbol of the city that helped shape MJ’s career.
The Low-Top’s Quiet Legacy
While the high version of the “Chicago” AJ1 has grabbed most of the spotlight over the years, the low-top OG quietly built a following of its own. Its sleeker profile made it more versatile for casual wear, and it carried the same DNA — premium leather, classic color blocking, and that unmistakable Wings logo on the heel.
Nearly a Decade Since the Last Drop
The last time we saw the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago” at retail was in 2016, and pairs didn’t sit long. Since then, resale prices have climbed, and demand has only grown as Jordan lows continue to surge in popularity. This 2025 release marks the first time in almost ten years that fans will get a fresh shot at the Chicago low, making it one of the most anticipated retro drops of the year.

True-to-Size Comfort for Most Wearers
If you’ve worn Air Jordan 1s before — whether high, mid, or low — you’ll feel right at home here. The 2025 Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago” runs true to size for the majority of sneakerheads. The shape and last are consistent with past AJ1 Low OG releases, so there are no surprises in length or width for most foot types.
Narrow and Wide Foot Considerations
Narrow Feet – You can stick with your standard size without worrying about excess space. A medium-thickness sock will give you the best fit right out of the box.
Wide Feet – If AJ1s have felt snug in the past, consider going up a half size for a little more breathing room, especially around the forefoot.
Break-In and Wearability
Like most leather-based Jordans, the Chicago low will soften up after a few wears. The break-in period is minimal compared to stiffer retro models, so you won’t need weeks of wear before they feel comfortable. Pair them with low-cut or no-show socks in warmer months, and they’ll work just as well with crew socks when temps dro
