Air Jordan 1 High OG Lost & Found

The Air Jordan 1 High OG Lost & Found, previously known as the Air Jordan 1 High OG Chicago Reimagined, is without a doubt the most anticipated Jordan Brand release of 2022. Though not quite an actual retro release of Air Jordan 1 High OG Chicago, this new “Lost & Found” rendition of the sneaker is a refreshing take on a classic colorway of the Air Jordan 1 High OG. Regarding the backstory of the sneaker, the overall concept of the release is an homage to mom and pop shops. From the special custom packaging to the retro-inspired details, everything plays a part in imagining a scenario in which you come a DS pair of Chicago 1s in the basement/storage of these very mom and pop shops. Imagine the Chicago 1s in storage packed up in beat up boxes, which even includes a replacement AJKO lid. The mix up concept presents the idea of “Lost and Found” to give you an aged filter look to this old classic. Aside from the vintage box, other much-appreciated packaging details include a vintage receipt, discount stickers and even some newspaper with vintage Air Jordan 1 advertisements on it. The Air Jordan 1 High OG Lost & Found is said to mirror the release of 1994. Additionally, the sneaker is equipped with a slightly larger Swoosh on the side panels as well as a formed toe box. The design of the sneaker looks to replicate the distressed look of older pairs by coming equipped with cracks all throughout the toe box, mid-panel, and collar, while the soles are also aged to recreate the dustiness that is common when you end up leaving sneakers in storage for too long. Other details include the refined Wings logo on the collar and Muslin-colored tongues.
