Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Chicago Lost and Found' (2022)
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Chicago Lost and Found' (2022) revives the most storied colourway in sneaker history — the 1985 'Chicago' Air Jordan 1 — through one of Jordan Brand's most inventive concepts. The release imagines a deadstock pair of original Chicagos unearthed decades later in the back room of a small-town shop, translating that discovery into every aged, weathered detail. Released on 19 November 2022, it instantly became one of the most significant Jordan retros of the modern era.
Overview
Officially listed as Varsity Red/Black/Sail/Muslin under style code DZ5485-612, the pair reworks the iconic white, red and black blocking with deliberate vintage treatment. The leather across the collar, mid-panel and toe carries a cracked, time-worn finish, while pre-yellowed sail midsoles, a dusty red outsole and muslin tongues complete the illusion of four decades in storage. Black Swooshes, Wings branding at the ankle and classic Nike Air detailing keep the original 1985 spec intact beneath the ageing. The storytelling extends to the packaging, with a distressed, scuffed box styled after a weathered original. Beyond the concept, it remains a quintessential Air Jordan 1 High — effortlessly wearable with denim, cargos or tailored streetwear, and a cornerstone piece for any collection. Every pair is authenticated by hand at PUSHAS, so you can shop with confidence.
