JD 1 Retro Bred (1994)

Product Description

The Nike Air Jordan 1 Chicago Retro from 1994 could easily be considered the most important sneaker of all time. Because Michael Jordan retired in October of 1993, after his father passed away in the summer of that year, the world was expected the iconic Air Jordans to come to an end. Thanks to the genius marketing at Nike, The Swoosh decided to pay respects to MJ and give his fans a chance to grab a pair of some of Michael Jordan’s most iconic sneakers in 1994. No sneaker grabbed the attention of basketball fans like the Air Jordan 1 did in 1985. The Chicago inspired colorway of red, black and white became the must-have for fans of MJ and quickly captured the attention of the impressionable youth of the era. So when Nike began re-releasing the Air Jordan series in 1994, it opened up a world of opportunity for retro models. Of course, the Chicago Jordan 1 is one of the most easily recognizable and most memorable thanks to Jordan’s performances, like those 63 he dropped on Boston in the 1986 playoffs. Officially the colors are simply "White/Red-Black" on the box, which is another important thing to mention about this AJ1. The 1994 Air Jordan 1 Chicago Retro is also one of the most important because of the iconic box that it came in featuring MJ moments from throughout his career. Over two decades later, these are becoming more and more rare to find in DS condition.
