The mother of all sneakers is the Nike Air Jordan 1 “Chicago,” and that’s all there is to it. The birth of these sneakers dates back to the 1980s, when a young Michael Jordan became the face of the quintessential sports giant, posing for cameras in numerous pieces that shone thanks to the iconic Jumpman silhouette. Now luckily Nike has confirmed that the “Chicago” are back in the ring to wage war and we are going to tell you all the details.
First of all, a little history, which always comes in handy. Peter Moore, Tinker Hatfield and Bruce Kilgore were responsible for the design of the first pair of Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” in 1984.
Dyed in the colors of the Chicago Bulls (jordan’s team), white, red and black, these sneakers hit the market the following year and were an overwhelming success. Starting in 1987, the Air Jordans were to adopt us new colors season after season, right up to the present day.
Such is its importance that an original design was auctioned off by Christie’s for $615,000, a record amount for sneaker sales. Thus, these shoes are the object of desire and are almost impossible to own for most sports lovers.
At the beginning of the year the rumors jumped: this mythical model would return to dye the colors of the Chicago Bulls the Christmas parties and the prayers of the sneaker addicts have been fulfilled.
The release date is just around the corner, specifically on November 19, so we will not have to wait long. The sale will take place through Nike SNKRS and the price will be 180 dollars (179.99 euros). Yes indeed, Everything indicates that they will be sold out in seconds and that we will see them at an exorbitant cost in the resale.
