Nike Air Jordan 1

Generations of sneakerheads have experienced the hype surrounding Nike Air Jordan 1 releases. This old-school silhouette first launched as a basketball high-top, named after one of the best in the game. Whilst Michael Jordan was making strides between the hoops, his trainer collaboration with Nike quickly became a sensation on the streets.

It was a visionary model when it first launched in 1985 and designed by Peter Moore (also of Dunk fame). The controversial AJ1 ‘Bred’ was outlawed by the NBA which had previously only allowed all-white footwear. MJ broke the rules and the resulting fines and charges from the NBA only added to the appeal. It wasn’t long before Jordan 1s were seen on the feet of rappers, athletes and other influential stars.

The Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG has released in hundreds of colorways from OGs such as the Chicago, Hyper Royal, Shattered Backboard, Midnight Navy, Obsidian, Neutral Grey, UNC and Mocha to the high-heat collaborations such as those from Off-White, Travis Scott and other Jordan Brand associates. Thanks to the use of premium materials as well as the iconic detailing and Swoosh/Jumpman logos, this is a timeless and versatile trainer. Whether you’re rocking the new Flyknit renditions, keeping it strictly OG, Zoom or even going for an Air Jordan 1 Mid this is a lifestyle staple with bags of curb appeal.
