The Chicago Air Jordan 1 is the most recognizable of all the Jordan signature sneakers and in 2013 Jordan Brand gave sneaker enthusiasts the chance to revisit memories with the release of the Air Jordan 1 Retro Chicago. Prior to this release, the Chicago version of the Air Jordan 1 had been one of the most rare variations of Jordan retros. In fact, excluding the patent leather version that released in 2003, Chicago AJ1s had only released twice before, in 1985 and 1994. Considering that Michael Jordan wore this colorway of the Air Jordan 1 more than any other colorway during his rookie year, and even played in a pair in 1998 during his final game at NYC’s Madison Square Garden as a Chicago Bull, it was obvious the demand for the 2013 Chicago Jordan 1s would be plentiful. Interestingly enough, the White/Varsity Red-Black Jordan 1 Retro did not come with the Nike Air branding, even though the "Knicks" AJ1 did and released around the same time. Nevertheless, it sold incredibly well thanks to the red, white and black Bulls inspired colorway. Of course, the nearly twenty year wait for dedicated sneaker enthusiasts and Chicago Bulls fans almost guaranteed the 2013 Air Jordan Retro 1 High Chicago would sell out, despite the Jumpman logo on the tongue that may be less than desirable for the purists.

Lucky to get 2 stars if the least which is strictly for the shoes alone. What happened was that I paid premium price for the shoes expecting that all accessories would be included, the Old School Yellow Sales Receipt was missing. Turns out that StockX policy and procedures change to benefit their sellers so much so that accessories are no longer guaranteed in the verifying process. If other same shoes in the market have sold without certain accessories, whereby voiding and nullifying the responsibility for StockX to guarantee all accessories to be included as part of their verification process, then they will declare that they did not omit any due responsibility in making sure that all accessories were included during their verifying process.

Something I found out the hard way. Only after having brought this to their attention after the fact did they say that they were not responsible for the missing item considering other shoes had already sold without!! Therefore, technically it was a complete purchase merely suggesting that if I were unhappy with the purchase then I should consider selling them instead!! GEEZ!!!!!!! PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!

For all sneakerheads or shoe lovers i don’t need to say a lot about this color way. It is an iconic Chicago color of jordan 1 high; the most popular color. Overall, the quality of shoe is great, good quality leather material. Because of the name “reimagine” Nike decided to make crashed leather on the top and toe box; fade color on the tongue or even make the receipt like back 90s. Also, they have a different name” lost and found”. They made the cover replacement box. For me, this is beautiful jordan 1 high, an iconic color along with the history. It is must have sneaker.

This is a personal review of the AJ1 Retro High OG Royal Reimagined that released on November 4th. The shoe is not bad, but I will not rate as a great shoe either. The classic color way is what lifts up these shoes, being a timeless color way made into an icon by an icon, the GOAT himself. I don’t dislike the materials used to make the shoes, but I think that they could have done better. I don’t mind mixing things up, like they did with the AJ1 Washed Black, being a combination of suede and smooth leather materials. In which case, these could’ve been better. I think it’s a missed opportunity altogether. I still like the shoes, but I wouldn’t put it up there at par with the Chicago Lost and Founds, which are beautiful. The Royal 2.0s are beautiful, but beauty comes ... MoreThis is a personal review of the AJ1 Retro High OG Royal Reimagined that released on November 4th.

The Royal 2.0s are beautiful, but beauty comes in degrees, and these just don’t have that sex appeal that the Lost and Founds have.I design Air Jordan 1s myself. I could pitch in a better design if it were up to me. But overall, these shoes are not bad. They’re okay. I would rate it a 7.5/10. Maybe an 8 just because they’re the Royals.

This is a classic shoe in a classic colorway. The suede is a nice quality but after having them in hand, I think it would have been waaay better to have been in the classic leather with an aged midsole similar to the reimagined 3s. Guaranteed instant sellout with that look. This is a quality shoe though. Mine had some scuffs on the heel from the wrapping paper. I was able to get it to smooth out with some brushing.
This review is for the Black-White color way.The leather is nice as with other AJ1s at this price point. The color of them is great, but I was highly disappointed to find out that they didn't come with a second pair of white laces. I think every other pair of AJ1s I have purchased at this price point have come with 2 colors/pairs of laces. For people that are wondering, they only come with one pair of laces(black). Pretty disappointing.
Omg these shoes are one of a kind to me. Love them so much. But I think from my own perspective everybody needs foam crease protection because when I first wore these amazing shoes they got a crease so I am getting foam crease protection. So just warning u before u get any pair of shoes like Air Forces or Air Jordans 1 get foam crease protection otherwise your shoes will be creased and it’s such a hassle to get it out. But honestly other than that great shoes definitely worth the money. I Personally Recommend and love them. Thanks Nike. Sincerely,
perfect. i loved them. they were so comfortable and very durable. loved the sticker it came with. Were not fake like other websites' shoes. overall, 10/10. Would totally buy again. they were just a bit too small and took some effort to get my foot in but thats no problem. i just loosened the laces a ton and they relaced it. now its loose and fits perfectly. also love the shoebox.
I just got the royal reimagined. Was pretty excited for it. The suede/nubuck looks better than I expected. Two things I noticed off the bat were the color on the blue laces were off. Wish it matched the shoe more. Even the shade of blue on the box would be nicer. Biggest thing, is it just me or the insole was very loose. Came right out. It revealed all the stitching on the shoe. I don’t think I’ve ever had this happen to me before.
This shoe is going under the radar!I ordered them day one being super excited when I saw them to my dismay that not a lot of people bought them. Was good for me because I was able to purchase a pair! However, upon my initial inspection of the shoes upon receiving them, I was even more impressed than I thought by how awesome the shoes look! The silver swoosh compliments the green so well and it stands out amazingly! On my first day wearing them, I received many compliments! If they have these in your size, I recommend buying these! They are comfortable too!
Shoes are super clean for pre-owned. I know it's supposed to look aged for the model it is, but it's hard to tell really. No creases on toe box and uppers are super clean. From looking at the shoe as a whole and checking the outsoles, midsoles, uppers, and the insoles; it looks pretty VNDS to me. Little to no signs of wear on it and it just looks flawless. Very pleased with the quality and condition of the shoes; especially at the price. I know it's above retail and below the market for what it is. Shoes will definitely be in rotation for sure.
