It all started at one. Next year Jordan Brand will celebrate an unprecedented 25th anniversary of the Air Jordan series of shoes. ?Earlier today we all caught a glimpse of the upcoming Air Jordan 2010, but for this Throwback Thursday, I thought it was an appropriate time to rewind things back to where it all began – the Nike Air Jordan 1. Coming out of school Michael Jordan had tons of buzz surrounding him from his play at NC, to his Olympic Gold in the summer of ’84, but the minute Jordan’s shoes were banned by the NBA, buzz for much more than just Mike was generated. ?Though the shoes that technically were banned by the NBA were the Black/Red Nike Air Ships that MJ wore for the first part of his rookie year, the Nike Air Jordan 1’s were at the focal point of an extremely creative campaign by Nike. As you know, the Air Jordan line has changed tremendously since the beginning, but sometimes there is nothing better than the original. |
