Product Information

Full details

The Air Jordan 1 Mid Chicago (2020) is designed for adults who appreciate iconic sneaker design with a touch of classic sportswear. Its key benefit is offering the timeless 'Chicago' colorway in a versatile mid-top silhouette for everyday wear. A caveat to consider is its mid-top cut, which offers less ankle support than a high-top model. This sneaker features a white leather base with red leather overlays and black detailing, inspired by the original 1985 Air Jordan 1, providing comfort with a cushioned midsole and enhanced traction with its rubber outsole. Perforations on the toe box ensure breathability.

FAQs

What does 'Mid' mean in Air Jordan 1 Mid?

The 'Mid' designation refers to the silhouette's height. It sits between the traditional High and Low top versions of the Air Jordan 1, offering a balance of style and ankle coverage.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Mid Chicago (2020) is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. It may not provide the necessary ankle support and cushioning for high-impact athletic activities like professional basketball.

How do I clean the red leather overlays?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the red leather overlays. For dirt, a mild soap solution with a soft brush can be used. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh chemicals to prevent color transfer or damage.

What is the main difference between this and the Air Jordan 1 High?

The primary difference is the height of the collar. The Air Jordan 1 High features a taller collar that extends higher up the ankle, offering more support, while the Mid version has a shorter collar.

How breathable are these sneakers?

These sneakers offer moderate breathability due to the perforations on the toe box, which allow for some air circulation. However, like most leather sneakers, they may not be as breathable as mesh-constructed shoes.

What year was this specific colorway released?

This iteration of the Air Jordan 1 Mid Chicago featuring the described color-blocking was released on July 16th, 2020.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage. Consider crease protectors if desired.

Discoloration of white leather

Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner or a very mild soap solution. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Traction feels insufficient

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly worn-out outsoles, replacement may be necessary, though this is uncommon for lifestyle use.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Air Jordan 1 Mid Chicago (2020):
