Anyone done a Gate 1 tour of Israel and Jordan

I have never taken a Gate 1 tour, but looking at one for 13 days for Israel and Jordan for an amazing price.

Can anyone who has taken such a tour comment?

My husband and I have done many Gate 1 Tours to many different parts of the world, but not Israel and Jordan. We have enjoyed every tour and like the people we have met on these trips. Accommodations have always been great and for the most part, the guides have been wonderful. Gate 1 is an inexpensive way to travel to places you might not want to visit on your own.

I've taken 2 Gate 1 Tours, one to Lisbon and Spain and the other to the Balkans. They are a great deal for the money and the itineraries are well thought out.

I just took an Israel and Jordan tour with them in November. I loved it. I would type more but I broke my arm yesterday...so check my bio on this site...there’s a link to my blog and I blogged the trip extensively.

Yes, read Valerie's blog! I have had NO interest in Jordan but her description of their walk in to Petra was jaw-dropping and makes me want to go!

Since she's got a hurt flipper, here's a link to her TR on this forum, but do go to her blog as well!

Thank you, Pam! The “hurt flipper” made me smile after my tremendously bad day yesterday:)

Thanks for the response. I believe that we will take the 13 Day Essential Israel and Jordan. Price is fantastic. We will likely do in Feb or March next year. https://www.gate1travel.com/mediterranean/israel/2019/escorted/israel-escorted-13diljoneb20.aspx

I enjoyed reading your blog Valerie. Speedy recovery.

February or March, excellent choice. February can be a little rainy (we always hope for lots of rain), but you'll mostly be in places that get very little rain. Days are longer and temps are generally higher in March, but February is far from cold.

If you can, book extra pre-tour nights in Israel to see some of what the tour misses and to get over the jetlag. The tour you linked to doesn't include Jerash. It's the best sight in Jordan, stay an extra day and take a tour there.

On slimming down to 318-19 pounds: "During the season, I was a good 330-332ish, especially this offseason, just trying to slim down as best I could, start eating right, just be able to get fluid in my movements, feel good playing football. especially moving up to the next level, new speed, to make sure I could be the best I could be."

On the senior bowl: "I think the senior bowl definitely helped, going out there and getting in front of more teams. (I showed) I wasn't just a guy that could play in the Sun Belt, I could play against these top five guys. Going out there and competing against the new competition."

On his little brother being a Packers fan: "(The Packers are) my little brother's favorite team, the first draft pick from my hometown (Montravius Adams) went to the Packers."

Air Jordan 1 Chicago: The Inspiration Behind the Design

Product launch.

A closer look at how Jordan designers reimagined the original 1985 AJ1 to create the new Air Jordan 1 'Chicago'.

What to Know

• Air Jordan 1 2022 Chicago (aka "Lost & Found") dropped on November 19, 2022
• Retail price is $180 for adults and will be available in full family sizing. (See below for more details)
• Stay up to date on news and updates on the SNKRS app
• Air Jordan 1 2022 Chicago (aka "Lost & Found") drops on November 19, 2022

You already know what the Air Jordan 1 is all about. It’s a staple of sneaker culture.

The Air Jordan 1, however, wasn’t destined to be an all-time classic.

When it first debuted in 1985, there weren’t grand expectations. Instead, there were critics loudly chirping about Nike’s decision to give Michael Jordan a large sneaker deal before he played a single game and the rookie’s choice to sign with a company that, up to that point, was best known for running shoes.

Jordan quickly flipped the narrative on the court by winning Rookie of the Year, averaging 28.2 PPG, 6.5 RPG, and 5.9 APG in 1985 while donning Air Jordan 1s. MJ’s meteoric rise propelled the Air Jordan 1, resulting in nationwide demand and making the sneakers a must-have for hoop heads.

Introducing the Air Jordan 1 'Chicago'

The AJ1 "Chicago" was inspired by the high top Air Jordan 1 original colorway, first released in 1985. The shoe harkens back to a time when shoe boxes were often lost in inventory stockrooms, only to be found again years later.

Before the advent of sophisticated inventory systems, products were typically tracked with pen and paper. Human error was inevitable and frequently resulted in shoe boxes with mismatched lids.

The AJ1 Chicago is a throwback to this era, drawing inspiration from what an original 1985 Air Jordan 1 would look like if found decades later in a dusty stock room.

According to the Jordan design team, the goal of this shoe was to create a “time travel moment,” especially for a new generation of consumers. The process of buying a shoe today is very different from what it was like in the 80s. This sneaker attempts to capture that lost and found feeling, giving consumers a taste of what a box-fresh, vintage AJ1 would have looked like back in the day.

Lost & Found: A Unique Design

The Jordan Brand team responsible for developing the AJ1 Chicago obsessed every detail of the shoe’s design to bring this nostalgic story to life. Jordan designers studied multiple pairs of original AJ1s in varying states of distress to capture the nuances of the shoe’s look, described as having “light to no wear but with materials that sat for years in a box and didn’t withstand the test of time.”

The Inspiration

Ultimately, the team focused on several key design elements of the Chicago to drive forward the AJ1’s history. The image below shows the updated 2022 Chicago (top) next to an original 1985 Air Jordan 1 (bottom) to highlight the sneaker's inspiration.

A Closer Look

The 2022 Chicago colorway comes with a range of key design features influenced by the OG AJ1.

Bigger Swoosh

Ankle Collars

One of the most common signs of age on an original pair of AJ1s was a cracked and faded ankle collar. The black leather material wrapped around the ankle collars had a tendency to dry out and crack over a period of time, and often would begin to flake off with wear and handling.

The ankle collars on the new Chicago mimic this weathered appearance and give a nod to collectors who understand the amount of care necessary when handling a pair of 1985 originals.

Similar to the ankle collars, the rubber cupsole of an original AJ1 would age over time, turning into a light yellow hue. The Chicago pays homage to this look.

According to the Jordan Brand Design team, when shoes are left in a box for years and not properly maintained, they’re going to crack, yellow and pigment. The goal with the AJ1 Chicago was to hint at this subtle aging look, while adding tactility to the shoe’s sole.

Aged Leather

Leather is a natural material that requires ongoing maintenance. With years of neglect in a stockroom leather starts to dry out and leave visible signs of aging. The Chicago offers hints of dryness in the leather, most noticeably in the toe area and side panels. But the effect is merely aesthetic.

Jordan Brand designers took note of the condition in the leather from several older pairs of AJ1s. Observing how some of the oils in the leather came to the surface and created different visible effects, they recreated a rich look using premium materials that will last longer for today’s consumers.

OG Box & Lid

In a nod to the “lost and found” nature of the colorway, the updated Chicago comes with a mismatched box lid that speaks to the shoes being misplaced in back rooms and basements.

Designers added extra details both inside and outside the box that serve as a shout out to shoe promotions created once upon a time. According to the Jordan design team, every detail should be recognizable to those who grew up back in those days, while giving new sneakerheads a chance to experience what it was like.

One such example is the inclusion with every pair of a vintage receipt meant to replicate actual receipts that found their way into the hands of collectors from deadstock shoeboxes. The receipt calls up images of how sneakers used to be acquired in analog fashion before the internet age.

Retelling the Story

As a result of the many unique design choices, not every pair of updated AJ1s will look exactly the same. The subtle differences in each sneaker reinforce the throwback theme of this colorway.

Jordan designers took an approach that gave the 2022 Air Jordan 1 Chicago “an edge, a narrative and a connection.” They wanted a look and feel that came with a history tied back to something many consumers may not even be aware of. Ultimately, whether old school or new generation, Jordan Brand wants every consumer to see beauty in the story behind the shoe.

The sneaker dropped on November 19, 2022. The Chicago will be available in full family sizing.

The AJ1 Chicago retails for $180 (USD) for adults. Prices will vary by country.

The shoe will be available in full family sizing at the following price points:

• Adult: $180
• GS (Grade School): $140
• PS (Preschool): $85
• TD (Toddler): $70
• Crib (Infant): $50

You can find the shoe on SNKRS.com and the SNKRS app , as well as in Jordan Brand stores and retailers globally.

Like all Jordans, the Air Jordan 1 Chicago (aka “Lost and Found”) was originally designed as a basketball shoe. It’s inspired by the 1985 Air Jordan 1, so it features old school technology and cushioning.

We are planning a trip in early December with Gate 1 Travel. How is the weather then.

Gate 1 gets good reviews. However one of the ways they keep their price low is by having free days with optional tours.

I tried to find an itinerary of their 14 day tour but could only find an overview. If you have a link to an itinerary we could suggest which optional tours really aren't optional.
