Nike Air Jordan

Air Jordan shoes are by far one of the most recognizable sneakers in the world.They are signed with the name of Michael Jordan, basketball player and former member of the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards teams. These shoes first saw the light of day in 1985. The first model shown was the Air Jordan 1.

Beginnings of Nike Air Jordan

Their first colorway has three names, Air Jordan 1 Black and Red, Air Jordan 1 Bred and Air Jordan 1 Banned. The last name was adopted the most because Michael Jordan was fined $5,000 every time he wore the shoes to official NBA games because he violated the players’ dress code.

After the incident, Nike released a TV commercial with the given content:

“On October 15, Nike created revolutionary new basketball shoes. On October 18, the NBA kicked them out of the game. Fortunately, the NBA can’t ban you from wearing them. Air Jordan from Nike.” This advertising allowed the shoes to sell immediately upon their release.

In the first phase, Nike released the Air Jordan 1 High Nike model in 13 colorways of “Banned,” “Chicago,” “Royal,” “Black Toe,” “Shadow,” “Carolina Blue,” Black & White, Blue & White, Metallic Red, Metallic Purple, Metallic Blue, Metallic Green, and Natural Grey.
