Jordan 1 Retro High Off-White Chicago

The sneaker that launched a design revolution.

The Jordan 1 Retro High Off-White Chicago is Virgil Abloh’s reimagining of the most iconic colorway in Jordan Brand history. As part of “The Ten” collection, this 2017 release marked the first collaboration between Off-White and Jordan Brand—fusing basketball heritage with high fashion minimalism.

Dressed in a white, black, and varsity red leather upper, the shoe presents a fully deconstructed aesthetic, revealing foam layers, floating panels, and exposed stitching. Abloh’s design strips the classic Air Jordan 1 down to its raw DNA—rewriting how a sneaker should look and feel.

Design & Materials

Inspired by the original Air Jordan 1 “Chicago”, this version features signature Off-White elements throughout:

• Oversized, off-center Swoosh stitched onto the lateral side
• Swooshless medial panel with text print: “Off-White for Nike Air Jordan 1”
• Foam-exposed tongue with minimal branding
• “85” text hidden under the detached ankle collar flap
• “AIR” printed on the midsole and “SHOELACES” text on every lace
• Comes with red zip tie, white, green, and orange flat laces
• Includes Off-White branded Nike paper wrap

The raw, industrial design quickly made this pair a cult classic, now considered a modern grail.
