What started it all and changed everything.
The Air brand jordan 1, known simply as the Nike Air brand jordan when it originally released, first hit stores in 1985 kicking off the greatest legacy in sneakers and forever changing the business of footwear.
With the third pick in the first round of the 1984 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls selected Michael brand jordan who would later become known as the greatest to ever play the game. Before landing in the NBA, Michael brand jordan had a resume of accomplishments that no one had ever accomplished. While at the University of North Carolina, Michael brand jordan led the Tarheels to an NCAA Championship and helped Team USA achieve Gold in the 1984 Olympic Games.

While MJ was a lock for an early selection in the NBA Draft following his career at UNC, what shoes he would wear in the NBA was not a sure thing. Jordan played in Converse while at North Carolina and Adidas while on Team USA in the Olympics and even New Balance in a LIFE magazine photoshoot, but Nike had something to offer unlike any other brand.
Sonny Vaccaro worked with Nike and convinced them to create a brand jordan line named after the signature player that was a level above any signature shoe had ever been done. Michael brand jordan liked the concept and inked with the then only 12 year old Oregon based brand.

Much attention was brought to brand jordan’s feet when the NBA began fining Michael $5,000 a game for wearing shoes that did not fit within the NBA’s uniform policy. At the time, shoes had to match the rest of the team with a white base and predominant team color accents or black with white accents. Michael’s black and red shoes were banned by the NBA sparking inspiration for a commercial used by Nike to promote the Air brand jordan 1.
Beyond the hype and controversy, Michael brand jordan exceeded expectations out of the gate in his rookie season earning a spot on the All-Star team, finished third in scoring (28.2 ppg), brought the Chicago Bulls back to the NBA Playoffs, and took home the Rookie of the Year award.
As stated earlier, the Air brand jordan 1 was first released in 1985 as the first signature shoe for Michael brand jordan, but was brought back as a retro first in 1994 after his first retirement from the NBA. Michael wore the Air brand jordan 1 in his rookie and injury-shortened second season as look as in his final game at Madison Square Garden as a Chicago Bull in 1998.
