What it is
1985 (silhouette) · this pair 2014
Air Jordan 1 — the shoe Nike designed for a 21-year-old rookie called Michael Jordan. The NBA banned it for breaking uniform rules; Nike paid the $5k fine per game and put the ban in the ad. The drama made it the most famous trainer ever made.
The story · the lore · the numbers
- 01Designed by Peter Moore in 1985 — Jordan hated it on first sight, called it a 'devil shoe'.
- 02Jordan won six NBA titles wearing the line. Six rings, zero finals losses.
- 03The Mid is the cheaper sibling of the High — same look, softer build, easier to restore.
- 04Sole swap is the move — a specialist rebuilds the rubber, the leather usually outlives it.
