Jordan 1 Chicago - Reimagined aka Lost and Found - November 19, 2022

[rainking]

Yeah I'm taking that 100k claim with a grain of salt.

It is a bit dubious. JB would be leaving tens of millions on the table with that small of a run. But it wouldn’t surprise me. Seems like all Nike as a whole really cares about with most of these releases is hype driven even greater by manufactured scarcity and people talking about it on social media, rather than actually just selling as many pairs as it could.
I’d like to get a pair of these but I figure it’s going to be impossible. I’m not paying $500+ for a pair.

These need holiday XI numbers. 1,000,000 pairs could be made and people would still strike out.

They'll probably pull a new beginnings and only release them in select cities

cracked leather Should have been only on the collar.

 

[hitman243]

Too old to be waiting for the next release. Will pay up for these and beat them down.

This is what I v e been saying. The white leather never cracked on any OG's/94s

This is how JB gets y'all lol

 

[Magic33]

When I get the expected L, I'm not paying resell for a pair that looks older than my existing pair. Thanks JB.

 

[headdetective]

After I take the L, I'll pay that resell.

Chi's one of them joints you gotta grab every time.

 

[jordanhead718212]

Not when they look more beat than the pair you already own straight out the box

 

[headdetective]

Yall say that now cause these fakes floating around.

Keep that same energy come October lol

 

[ShaSam]

More beat than ones from 2015? Then you don’t need em.

 

[23mj88]

Let’s just be honest. Everyone and their momma gonna try for these. Even the cats that say they won’t, come release they will 100% be going for a pair.

I’m not a fan of what they did with them but I would 100% beat these into the ground further then they tried to make them look

Hope people who want em get ‘em. And people who don’t, dont. But it’s always the ones who say “just tried for fun, didn’t even want them who’ll get them.”

 

[headdetective]

Lyin to yourself

Ain't that the damn truth!

All depends on the resale price for me. I got a spending threshold. I don’t know if I’d be willing as is to pay $1,000 on a shoe if I could afford it either lol.

Everyone is going for a pair solely for the resale value.

They don't care. These are marketing tools. A Jordan 1 is not their bread and butter when it comes to impacting their bottom line.

Not true at all. Some folks actually like the shoes. I will say there’s a lot of people who’s “sneakerhead identity” is tied to the value of the shoes.

I’ve got some GRs and I’ve got some limited stuff, I bought what I bought because I wanted it, not because I’m trying to fit in with what’s hot at the moment. That mentality has ruined the sneaker hobby from when I came into and now.

 

[urn0tlike]

2X retail is my max for any shoe. If I can’t get for retail-2X I’m out. Id love to have these but it’s not worth it to me anymore to feed the beast.

Yeah sure I'll definitely be gunning for these despite all my naysaying.
I won't lie and say that these look bad because regardless of the (idiotic) gimmick these are still Chicago's. However, this release is literally the epitome of JB playing its consumers like a deck of cards because best believe they'll be releasing these again as an '85 High Chicago in 3 years for the 40th anniversary of the Jordan 1. Personally I can wait. These look nice but I don't care for the gimmick nonsense or the fact that these are literally just the normal OG High mould but with minor, almost unnoticeable improvements.

I should rephrase it. But a lot of people will be entering raffles/camping out(if this is allowed for this release) solely for that reason alone.
