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 the first shoe for Michael Jordan from Nike, but it was also the beginning of innovation for Nike itself. The Air Jordan 1 was designed as a basketball shoe for rookie Michael Jordan and it started the crazy and huge trend of retros that we are experiencing 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 in canvas shoes or running shoes. When it comes to basketball shoes, the color was almost always white.
The logo "Wings"
While most of the components of the shoe were drawn from other Nike designs such as the Air Force 1, Nike Dunk, Air Ship, and Nike Vandal, the one thing that was completely 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 representation 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 iconic Jumpman logo would first appear in 1988 with the Air Jordan 3 model.
"Banned"
The "Banned"
Released for the first time in 1985 in the color Bred (black+red=bred) and quickly became known as "Banned". You see, every time Jordan stepped onto the court wearing the black, red, and white sneakers, 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 hype around the Air Jordan 1.
