Long before his highly publicized relationship with Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce was known as one of the best-dressed men in all of professional sports. However, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has elevated his pregame outfits even higher in recent weeks.

Before today's game against the Denver Broncos, Kelce entered Empower Field at Mile High in style. The perennial NFL Pro-Bowler dressed in autumnal hues. Thanks to the Chiefs' stellar social media team, fans were treated to a great look at Kelce's pregame outfit and sneakers.

The foundation of Kelce's pregame outfit was provided by his Air Jordan sneakers. Kelce, a Nike athlete, has rocked a wide array of sneakers ranging from below-retail prices to astronomically expensive. Today's footwear would fall in the latter category.

Kelce wore the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High in the 'Chicago' colorway. The shoes were released in November 2017 for $190. They now go for well over $6,000 on most sneaker resale websites. Below is what you need to know about the ultra-rare sneakers.

The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High 'Chicago' was a highly anticipated collaboration between Jordan brand and the late-great fashion designer Virgil Abloh. The Chicago-themed colorway takes inspiration from Michael Jordan's most recognizable sneakers but with some major differences.

Off-White branding, hang tags, bold stitching, and extra laces provided a deconstructed aesthetic that was rare at the time and has since become the norm in the sneaker world. 

It would probably be unwise for most people to drop that kind of money on sneakers. The silver lining is that Kelce's Chiefs jerseys have been restocked online, and there are plenty of retro Air Jordans available at retail prices on Nike's website.
