About Nike Jordan

From banned shoe to phenomenon

The Jordan line began in 1984, when a young Michael Jordan signed with Nike. The red-and-black Air Jordan 1 broke the NBA’s dress rules — Nike paid the $5,000 fine per game, and the ban became marketing material. Thus a controversial basketball shoe became the start of a hype.

Models that made history

Each number brought something new: the Air Jordan 3 introduced the Jumpman logo, the 11 the patent leather, and the 4 and 5 brought the sneaker into street culture. Performance and design went hand in hand, and the scarcity of many releases fueled desire.

More than basketball

No longer just for sport, Jordan now stands for self-expression. The connection with hip hop, streetwear, and collaborations with names like Off-White, Travis Scott and Dior keeps the line relevant to this day.
