Jordan 1 RetroChicago Bulls (2009)

Product Description

Despite being one of the most iconic sneakers of all time and the original colorway of the original Air Jordan shoe, the 2009 "Chicago Bulls" Air Jordan Retro 1 may be the most underappreciated sneakers of the entire Air Jordan 1 line. The "Bred" colorway is about as good as it gets when it comes to memories just think Michael Jordan in the 1985 NBA Slam Dunk Contest and the first thing that comes to mind is the black and red Air Jordans on his feet--although the gold chain bouncing around on his neck is close second. So what is it about the 2009 that has sneaker collectors and Chicago Bulls fans overlooking it? It’s the only Bulls Air Jordan 1 High that doesn’t have the Nike Air on the tongue, instead the "Jumpman Air" is featured, making it feel like one of the often dismissed Jordan 1 Mids. Of course if we’re talking about Air Jordan 1s in original colorways, we’re still talking about a shoe that sold out when originally released. That’s a given. However, this Air Jordan 1 Retro "Bred" colorway released as a part of the 60+ Jordan Defining Moments Pack, which featured the "Celtics" Air Jordan 1 colorway designed to celebrate MJ’s 63-point performance against Boston in Game 2 of the first round of 1986 NBA Playoffs. Though it might not have the demand of the other "Bred" AJ1 colorways, the the 2009 "Chicago Bulls" Air Jordan Retro 1 retailed for $225 and that price included both pairs, making it a worthy investment by anyone’s standards.
