Jordan 1 Retro
The shoe that started it all
The Air Jordan 1 is undoubtedly the most important shoe in the history of footwear. It was not only Michael Jordan's first shoe from Nike, but it was also the beginning of innovation for Nike itself. The Air Jordan 1 was designed as a basketball shoe for the then-rookie Michael Jordan and went on to kickstart the crazy and massive retro trend we live in today, where new colors and collaborations seem to be released every week.
The story behind the design
The Air Jordan 1 was designed by Peter Moore who came up with the idea to "break the color barrier in footwear." You see, in the early 1980s, bright colors existed on canvas shoes or running shoes. When it came to basketball shoes, the color was almost always white.
The "Wings" logo
While most components of the shoe were pulled from other Nike designs such as the Air Force 1, Nike Dunk, Air Ship, and Nike Vandal, the one thing that was entirely exclusive to the Air Jordan 1 series was the logo that Moore sketched for Michael. The "Wings" logo as we know it today features a basketball with wings, the perfect metaphor for Michael "Air" Jordan and his new signature shoes. The Air Jordan 1 was the only Air Jordan model to include both the Nike Swoosh and the Jordan Wings logo. The now-famous Jumpman logo would first appear in 1988 with the Air Jordan 3 model.
"Banned"
The "banned"
First released in 1985 in the Bred colorway (black+red=bred), they quickly became known as "Banned". You see, every time Jordan stepped onto the court wearing the black, red, and white shoes, he was fined $5,000 for violating the NBA's uniform policy, a fine that Nike was happy to pay each time to increase the buzz around the Air Jordan 1.
