Original story: The hype around all the Jordan releases coming in 2025 has reached a whole new level! Word on the sneaker streets (shoutout @zSneakerHeadz) is that the legendary Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago” is making its grand return next holiday season. This retro drop is going to be BIG.

First launched in 1985 as a high top silhouette, it’s been almost a decade since the OG Jordan 1 Low "Chicago" hit the scene, with the last proper drop back in 2016. Once upon a time, you could casually snag these lows off store shelves, or even score them on discount at outlet racks. But then the late 2010s happened, and the Jordan 1 hype train went full steam ahead. Now? Good luck grabbing a pair without shelling out enough to make your wallet cry.

The best part? The source reveals a striking “Red/Black/Summit White” colour palette for the 2025 release. This suggests we can look forward to an authentic retro edition rather than a “Reimagined” version.

The iconic Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago” sports a bold Varsity Red, Black, and Summit White colourway crafted with premium leather. Varsity Red steals the show, painting the eye stays, toe cap, heel overlay, tongue tag, and outsole like it owns the place. A crisp Summit White graces the mid panel, perforated toe box, and midsole, providing a clean contrast that keeps the design fresh and versatile. And of course, Black swoops in with the Swoosh, laces, interior lining, and Wings logo, tying it all together like a mic drop.

No official images of next year’s retro release have dropped yet, but fingers crossed Jordan Brand brings back the 2016 era styling with the big Swoosh.

The highly anticipated Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago” is set to launch during the Holiday 2025 season. Click 'Notify me' and we'll let you know as soon as these drop next year.
