As the Air Jordan line approaches its 40th anniversary, one of the most iconic colorways in sneaker history is making a grand return—the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Chicago.” Set to release in Fall 2025, this reissue is more than just a sneaker drop; it’s a celebration of the rich legacy of the Air Jordan brand and its indelible mark on both basketball and sneaker culture.

The Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Chicago” first hit the scene in 1985, forever changing the landscape of sportswear. Designed by Peter Moore, the shoe’s bold red, white, and black color scheme mirrored the Chicago Bulls’ team colors, instantly becoming a symbol of Michael Jordan’s rise to greatness. The “Chicago” colorway quickly became a fan favorite, not just for its on-court performance but also for its off-court style, making it a staple in the burgeoning sneaker culture of the 80s and beyond.

Over the years, the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Chicago” has seen several re-releases, each met with overwhelming demand. Whether it’s the nostalgia of the original release or the timeless appeal of its design, the “Chicago” colorway has maintained its status as a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts. The 2015 release, in particular, reignited the hype, reminding the world of the shoe’s enduring influence.

The 2025 reissue promises to stay true to the original, with details that honor the legacy of the 1985 version. Expect high-quality leather, a classic high-cut silhouette, and that unmistakable combination of Varsity Red, Black, and White that defines the “Chicago” colorway. This release is not just a tribute to the past but a nod to the future, as the Air Jordan brand continues to shape and influence sneaker culture globally.
