The Air Jordan 1 is the first signature sneaker of Michael Jordan, released by Nike in 1985. Designed by Peter Moore, it revolutionized basketball footwear with its bold colorways, high-top silhouette, and premium leather construction. Originally banned by the NBA for violating uniform regulations, the controversy only fueled its popularity. Today, the Air Jordan 1 is a cultural icon, embraced in basketball, streetwear, and sneaker culture, with countless retros, collaborations, and limited-edition releases.
