Air Jordan 1 (I)


Air Jordan 1 (I) Shoes

Air Jordan I, first Nike sneakers for MJ.
Designed by Peter Moore, Nike released the sneakers in 1985, the Air Jordan 1(I) pair of sneakers was considered a breakthrough in basketball shoe design,although its design was improved upon later with the Nike Dunk. The shoe initially gained a great deal of publicity and interest because its vibrant black and red color violated the league's uniform rules and when Michael was fined five thousand dollars every time he wore the shoes during a game. Nonetheless, other companies scrambled to emulate the design and introducing knock-off brands of the Air Jordan line. In 1994 the Air Jordan 1 was re-released. The Air Jordan 1 has been the most reproduced retro with over 90 colorways.
Jordan wore the Air Jordan I when he scored a league playoff-high 63 points against the Boston Celtics in the 1986 NBA Playoffs.
