It would be fine on these because they aren’t meant to be OG Chicago’s.
Of all the “special” details on these that differentiate them from your normal Chis, the white contrast stitching is the least offensive IMO. I don’t like it, but I hate the frosty finish, and cream outsole with white upper even more.

So is it now acceptable to wear mids now that we know Jordan wore them in '85?
I’ve been out on mids, and will stay out on mids. I think the issue with mids is they don’t have NA and similar type details. If mids were EXACTLY like Highs, just minus the height, I don’t think they’d be as despised by so many. I’m sure the mids MJ wore were exactly like his highs, just a slightly lower height.

These are OK, I’ve just never been into how deconstructed the aesthetics are of the OW Jordan 1s. Add to that, and the fact that I already have 2 yellow kicks in the Iowa Dunk Highs and Yellow Grateful Dead’s, and I’ll have a 3rd in the Lightning 4s, I’m not too smitten over these. Good luck to those that want them though. It’s gonna be a mad house.
 
You wouldn’t get a Chi in the ‘85 build? I sure the hell would.
They would be nice to have but having a fresh pair of 2015's I personally feel no need for them. If my 15's were smoked, I had 2013's, or no Chi's at all then yeah I would be all over them no matter what. I feel the same with all the current OG color retros I have. I have no want for any other year retro except for 2011 Breds even though I have 2016's. I knew I shouldn't have sold my retail pairs. Biggest regret of any sneaker I ever had. SMH.

where do you live first off?

supposedly a bunch were stolen in tennessee and sold locally.

nothing over Sz12 exists with the fakes right now.

but with how good the fakes are now, without them being in hand, or super specific pics, it would be very hard to tell.

i would never purchase from a dude offline. thats the last bastion for these fake sellers, is local meetups.

Charleston SC, allegedly they came from a known resell shop from Charlotte though. I was told over half of the 12,000 was stolen

Chis in a 85 cut would be more unobtainable than a yeezy 2 lmaooo

I feel it. I too have zero NEED for them. It’d just be more so interesting to have them in an ‘85 build. But again, I don’t NEED them at all like yourself. I’d love to have the 2011 Blk/Reds (Banneds). Hell, I just want to see them in person, to physically see the quality and such. I do have the 2001, 2013, and 2016 Blk/Reds.
