Chicago (2025) · HQ6998-600
The Jordan 1 Retro Low OG "Chicago," releasing in 2025 under SKU HQ6998-600, brings the sneaker world's most iconic colorway down to a low-top silhouette. While the Air Jordan 1 High needs no introduction as the shoe that started it all, this low-cut execution lets Jordan Brand revisit the legendary white, black, and varsity red scheme in a fresh, more streamlined format. Marketed as an "OG" release, this pair emphasizes premium materials and construction details meant to echo the look and feel of vintage Jordan 1s, appealing to purists who value authenticity over flash. The Chicago colorway has always carried weight thanks to its ties to Michael Jordan's rookie years with the Chicago Bulls, and any re-release under this name draws immediate attention regardless of silhouette. Sneakerheads met the low-top Chicago with a mix of excitement and debate, as some longtime collectors questioned diluting a historic colorway into new formats, while others welcomed a more wearable, everyday take on a grail-tier design. At retail, pairs moved quickly, reflecting the enduring commercial and cultural pull of the Chicago name.
