The Air Jordan 1 KO “Chicago” is a May 2021 release of an original colorway of the silhouette based on Michael Jordan’s first signature shoe. Roughly a year after the Jordan 1 made its debut in 1985, Nike released the Air Jordan 1 KO or “Ajko,” for short. The then-new design featured a canvas construction instead of leather like the original Jordan 1. Moreover, the Ajko was seen as a more inclusive version of the shoe, although Nike has never gone into much detail as to why it reconstructed and renamed the model so closely after releasing the original Jordan 1. As for the design, Varsity Red canvas appears on the toe, forefoot, eyelets, and collar. White canvas is used as the base and a black leather Swoosh appears on either side. The Ajko features a “Wings” logo on the ankle and a Nike logo on the tongue tag. The “Chicago” Ajko dons a white nylon tongue. A cream rubber midsole and red outsole complete the look. Release date: May 12, 2021.

StockX absolutely came through for me and was the best price for my AJKO CHICAGO 2021. Im still in awe that I own the shoe. Must give StockX all the credit

Color pops and looks dope, shoe runs small, so I was forced to have to sell because there’s no options on StockX to hear if a shoe runs small or big, or true to size when ordering, and because you can’t return a purchase, and just have to re-sell yourself and eat the loss, it’s very frustrating

Very fast customer services. The shoes was bought at a great price. Will buy again!
Beautiful shoes. Shipped fast and efficiently
Everything was as written. Thanks
Great vintage style shoe, as close to original as ever!
Thought there would be more leather on the shoe, it ended up being mostly canvas, The size runs a bit small than other Air Jordan models.
Definitely a unique Jordan 1 high since its made mostly of canvas and a little leather. Great quality shoe! Its a Chicago colorway on Jordan 1, definitely a worthy purchase!
Fantastic Jordans super cool and comfortable I'm definitely going to buy another pair
