Anytime the Air Jordan 1 High returns in its OG “Chicago” colorway is a major event, and the slight variant in its “Chicago Reimagined” from last year was no different. Whether you missed out on it or are just looking for a reup, news of a restock on the SNKRS app will come as welcomed news.
Nike all but confirmed the return of the AJ1 “Chicago Reimagined” with a cheeky poll posted in SNKRS. The prompt asked users if they’d tell their friends or keep tight lips were the sneaker to restock next week — enough to send would-be coppers scrambling.
“Chicago Reimagined” isn’t a one-to-one recreation of the Air Jordan 1 “Chicago,” as it adds a cracked leather collar and faux-aged midsoles. The idea is to nod to the pairs that sat untouched and forgotten in mom-and-pop shops, which has also garnered a “Lost and Found” nickname.
When exactly the “Chicago Reimagined” will hit again remains to be seen, but you better believe we’ll be keeping a close eye on SNKRs beginning April 16. Download the DROPS by SoleSavy app, and we’ll provide you with any and all updates.
