There Are More Differences Between the “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 and 1.5 Than You Thought

The Air Jordan 1.5 "The Return" saw its first public release ever last month, and although they weren't quite as hyped as their "Chicago" Air Jordan 1 counterpart, many 'heads jumped at the chance to own a true piece of Jordan history.

To the uninitiated, they may look like the same shoe. Ask the average sneakerhead, and they'll tell you the difference is the midsole — the 1.5 "The Return" swaps the original rubber tooling for the Air Jordan 2's polyurethane setup. But take a closer look and you'll find that that's only the beginning.

Highsnobiety dropped off these detailed shots, which should help you spot every small variation between the two historic sneakers.
