Air Jordan 1 High “Lost and Found” Official Look

Featured

by Angel Ortiz | Nov 2, 2022 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

The highly anticipated Air Jordan 1 High “Lost & Found” is finally releasing on November 19th. We’ve seen many iterations of the “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 throughout the years but this time around we are getting a “vintage” look to them.

The inspiration behind the Air Jordan 1 “Lost & found” was finding a pair of “Chicago” Jordan 1s in the basement or storage of a mom and pop shop. Many people have kept their 1985 “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 Highs brand new but overtime the leather has cracked and given it a vintage look which was what inspired this “Lost & Found” pair to release. On the Air Jordan 1 “Lost & Found” the leather on the collar, mid-panel, and toe is cracked giving it a vintage look, it also comes with a dusted finish on the outsole. The shape of the “Lost & Found” pair is not its original shape from 1985 but it does resemble the shape of the 2015 “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 High OG.

Look for the Air Jordan 1 High “Lost & Found” to release on November 19th in full family sizing at select retailers and on the Nike SNKRS app.
