Jordan Air Shoes

The Jordan Air Shoes that Started it All

From his high-flying dunks, lethal first-step, and unmatched hunger to win, Michael Jordan holds a legacy that changed the game of basketball, and sports, forever. In 1985, Jordan came into the league donning his still legendary Air Jordan 1 sneakers with loud colors and some special design requests from MJ himself. Dropping in red, black, and white, Jordan’s first sneaker caught eyes once they hit the hardwood in a sea of mostly white silhouettes. MJ laced up in the Air Jordan 1 for the 1985 dunk contest as he flew through the air while his sneakers sold out almost as soon as they hit the shelves.

Jordan Air Legends

The Air Jordan 1 may have been the first, but it was certainly not the last. Jordan collected all six of his championship rings while donning seven different legendary Jordan Air shoes. All of these silhouettes still stock shelves to this day in various colorways and unique collabs. From balling in the Air Jordan VI for his first championship, to lacing up in the Air Jordan XIV to secure his second 3-peat, MJ’s line of Jordan basketball sneakers is still a staple in sneaker culture to this day. With Jordan Air sneakers taking on their own aesthetic, like the Swoosh-less Air Jordan Retro 3, each sneaker holds a special history all on its own.

For decades, the family of Jordan basketball shoes has continued to grow, but like Jordan’s legacy, Jordan Brand has continued influence sports off the hardwood.
