How did Air Jordan start?

In 1984, Michael Jordan entered the NBA scene and quickly proved he was a force to be reckoned with. During his first season, the athlete signed a deal with Nike to produce his own line of shoes. Quickly switching from wearing Adidas to Nike on the court, the elite player released his classic Air Jordan 1 sneaker in 1984. What began as a small partnership with an underrated athlete soon became a global phenomenon, with 32 versions of the sell-out Nike Air Jordan sneaker being released since then. 

The era of Jordan revolutionised the industry, with other athletes following in his footsteps and releasing their own custom-designed shoes. However, no one has managed to outdo Jordan’s epic legacy, impressive sales and unbelievable success. 

 

Why did the NBA ban Air Jordan 1s?

It’s hard to believe there was once a time when the daring red and black hi-top Jordan 1’s were banned. When renowned basketball player Michael Jordan first entered the league in the early ‘80s, he collaborated with Nike to design his signature sneaker. However, when he stepped onto the court, there was one problem — the style did not adhere to the NBA league-wide rule that all players must wear sneakers that were mainly white and colour-coordinated with their team’s uniforms. Although Jordan solidified his reputation as a singular athlete and rising star, legend has it the then-rookie player was threatened with a $5000 fine for daring to wear his classic Nike Air Jordans during the season. 

 

Do Air Jordan 1s run big?

By far one of the most comfortable sneakers ever designed, Air Jordan 1s fit true to size. The sizing across the entire range remains consistent, so you can trust that you’ll find the best fit, no matter what silhouette style you choose. If you have wide feet, you can always consider going up one size.
