Air Jordans or "Jordans" are probably one of the oldest and most infamous brand of shoes produced by Nike. These shoes were essentially designed for the legend himself, Michael Jordan, and he endorsed them. The first pair of shoes were released in 1985 and every year after that, the Jordan release has taken the world by storm.
The first pair of Jay's were called Air Jordan I and they were designed by Peter Moore in 1985. The shoe recieved alot of publicity because it violated the NBA's uniform rules with it's bright black and red design. In 1994 the Air Jordan 1 was re-released with a lack of success. However, the Air Jordan 1 has been the most reproduced Jordan shoe with over 90 different color schemes.
The Air Jordan 4 was released in 1989 and was designed by Tinker Hatfield. Thanks to the shoe’s comfortable cushion and unique, sleek design it was the first Jordan shoe to be released on the global market. Actor and film director, Spike Lee, helped launch the ad with the infamous “Can/Can’t” TV commercial and he also let the shoes make an appearance in his movie “Do The Right Thing”.
Considered the most unique shoe of the Jordan line are the “Six Rings”. These shoes were released in 2008 and are a combination of the seven pairs of Jordans that Michael Jordan wore during six of his championship seasons. The combination includes the AJ6, AJ7, AJ8, AJ11, AJ12, AJ13, and the AJ14. The Jordan company has released the color scheme of each team that the Bulls defeated in the 1990’s ¾ LA Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers, Phoenix Suns, Seattle Supersonics, and the Utah Jazz.
