Retro High Og Appraisal

Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Lost and Found' (Chicago)

This is a pair of Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Lost and Found' sneakers, a 2022 release designed to mimic a vintage, 'deadstock' find of the original 1985 Chicago colorway. The shoes are a men's size 9 and feature a classic high-top silhouette crafted from premium leather. The color scheme follows the iconic 'Chicago' pattern: white leather side panels and toe boxes, red leather overlays, and black leather accents on the Swoosh and ankle collar. Key distinguishing elements include intentional 'cracked' texture on the black leather collar and white leather mid-panels to simulate dry rot and aging. The 'Wings' logo is prominently stamped in black on the lateral ankle flap. The rubber midsole shows a subtle pre-yellowed 'sail' patina, further emphasizing the aged aesthetic. Regarding condition, the pair shows signs of wear consistent with regular use: notable creasing is visible on the toe box, and the white midsole exhibits surface dirt and scuffing, particularly toward the heel. Despite the pre-aged design elements, the rubber outsole remains intact with a red finish. The construction utilizes high-quality stitching and authentic period-correct proportions of the 'OG' re-imagined series.
