1985 was a great year, not only because Michael Jordan was named “rookie of the year”<\/strong> by the NBA, but also because Nike<\/a><\/strong> launched the Air Jordan 1<\/strong>. This is how the legendary “Jordans<\/a><\/strong>” series came into basketball scene.<\/p>\n

Designed by Peter Moore, the Air Jordan 1<\/strong> were originally released in a red and black color-way, causing a great stir in the league which was so used to white sneakers<\/strong><\/a>. The commissioner David Stern<\/strong> was unwilling to break such tradition and he tried to avoid Michael to wear his brand new shoes<\/strong>, fining him with 5000$ each time he stepped on the court with them.<\/p>\n

Nike accepted the challenge<\/strong>. They happily paid each of those fines knowing that the profits of having “the shoe banned by NBA” would be much higher<\/strong>. Some months later, Nike reissued the Air Jordan 1 including white notes<\/strong> on it. These were the ones that “Air” wore more often during 1985 and 1986.<\/p>\n

Since it was launched, the Jordan 1<\/a> have been reissued several times<\/strong>, using a wide variety of colours but keeping the essence of the original ones. All of these revivals feature the classic Nike swoosh as well as the first Air Jordan logo, a basketball lifted by wings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
