The Iconic "Chicago" Jordan 1 Returns as a Wild Sneaker-Mule Mashup
The "Chicago" Jordan 1 is the most legendary Jordan 1, no debate. I mean, it is the shoe that started the 40-year-old sneaker brand by Nike. The Chicago 1s have reappeared a few times over the years and even received a super coveted vintage-style revival in 2023.
Now, Nike is bringing back the great Jordan 1 sneaker...as a mule hybrid for golfers.
We've seen the Jordan 1 Golf mule before. But for the uninitiated, the wild model is basically a Jordan 1 Low gone sneaker-mule. Nike has even maintained timeless Jordan traditions, dressing the mule in the AJ1's most iconic colorways like "Shadow," "Royal," and "Bred."
Next up is the Chicago treatment.
The Jordan 1 Golf mule boasts the famous red, white, and black colorblocking, known as the "Chicago" colorway. The Chicago Bulls' famous colors top the mule's creamy leather uppers for an admittedly nice classic look.
But that's about it for the OG Chicago Jordan 1 vibes. The mule-fied Jordan 1 comes to life elsewhere, presenting golf-ready fixings like its signature tread bottoms and lace-free setup. Oh, and don't forget about the mule's slide-in-and-go personality.
The Jordan mule may be a little crazy, design-wise, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Although many know him for making history on the basketball court, Michael Jordan actually loves golf. He made a brief career out of the sport before retiring. But nowadays, he just plays for fun.
With Nike turning Jordan's most famous sneaker into a golfing mule, it's quite literally the evolution of the GOAT'd player in shoe form, demonstrating his versatility as a sports icon.
Lucky for golfers and slide-on sneaker diehards, the wait won't be long for the Jordan 1 Golf mule "Chicago." Catch the legendary colorway on the Jordan 1 sneaker-mules on January 17, when the shoes drop at Nike.
