Okay, so I’ve been eyeing these “Homage” Jordan 1s for a while now. You know, the ones that are like, half “Banned” and half “Chicago”? Yeah, those. They’re a bit of a mashup, paying tribute to the city of Chicago and those iconic original Bulls colors. I finally decided to pull the trigger and get a pair.

First off, I started digging around for information. It seems like these are a “Special Edition,” which basically means they’re not your everyday Jordans. Sneakerheads go crazy for these limited releases because they’re unique and kinda rare.
I learned that the Air Jordan 1 is considered by many to be the best Jordan shoe ever made. Something about its groundbreaking design and the impact it had. Made sense to me, they do look pretty dope.
My Journey Begins
So, I hit up a few local stores, but no luck. These bad boys were sold out everywhere! Guess I wasn’t the only one who thought they were cool. I went online, and after a bit of searching, I found a pair in my size. I ordered them
The Wait
- Ordered the shoes online.
- Waited (im)patiently for them to arrive.
- Tracked the package like a hawk.
They’re Here!
The day finally came! The package arrived, and I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there they were, in all their glory. The “Homage to Home” Air Jordan 1s. They looked even better in person than in the pictures.

First Impressions
- The quality is top-notch.
- The colors are vibrant and eye-catching.
- They feel great on my feet.
Rocking the Homage 1s
I’ve been wearing them out and about, and let me tell you, they turn heads. People stop me on the street to ask about them. I’ve even had a few fellow sneakerheads give me a knowing nod of approval. These shoes are definitely a conversation starter.
The Verdict
- These are some of the coolest Jordans I’ve ever owned.
- They’re a great tribute to the city of Chicago and the Bulls’ legacy.
- I’m definitely going to be rocking these for a long time.
I am totally stoked about this purchase. The “Homage” Jordan 1s are a unique and stylish addition to my sneaker collection. I feel like I’ve got a piece of sneaker history on my feet. And the best part? I snagged one of only 2,300 pairs that were released in Chicago. Talk about exclusive! If you’re a Jordan fan or just appreciate a good-looking shoe, I highly recommend checking these out. You won’t be disappointed.
