We’re now less than a week away from Jordan Brand’s release of the “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG. The grandaddy of the Air Jordan line, this particular colorway was worn during MJ’s initial debut of the Air Jordan 1 on November 17, 1984, in which the Bulls played against 76ers. Mike scored a mere 16 points as the pulls lost 100-109, but it was enough to establish the Air Jordan as Nike’s premier basketball sneaker.
Releasing as part of Jordan Brand’s remastered series, this will be the most accurate pair we’ve seen since the sneaker’s 1994 re-release. The White/Black-Varsity Red Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG will hit stores on Saturday, May 30, with pricing set at $160. Store like Nike.com will release the sneaker beginning at 10:00 a.m. EST. This sneaker is guaranteed to move fast, so don’t sleep. If you’d like to secure a pair now, they are already available on eBay.
