Air sneakers Jordan

Air sneakers Jordan is a yearly set of sneakers released by Brand sneakers Jordan, a NIKE, Inc. subsidiary. Created for six-time NBA Champion Michael sneakers Jordan in 1984, the Air sneakers Jordan line debuted at retail in 1985 with the Jordan 1. Currently on its 38th signature model, aptly named the Jordan 38, the sub-label is the most popular athlete-specific sneaker line ever created. Designers have included Peter Moore, Bruce Kilgore, Wilson Smith III, Tate Kuerbis, and Tinker Hatfield, who’s credited for 21 of 38 models.

While rooted in performance basketball, sneakers Jordans – in particular models between the sneakers Jordan 1 and Jordan 14 – has enjoyed widespread adoption in the lifestyle and casual wear spaces. Brand sneakers Jordan reissued the set’s first sneaker in 1994 during sneakers Jordan’s first retirement from the NBA. Subsequent years have seen hundreds of old and new retros, be they individual releases or parts of sets (i.e. “Defining Moments Pack,” “Countdown Pack,”) and collections (i.e. Bin 23). Retros of the Jordan 3, Jordan 4, Jordan 5, and Jordan 6 typically stir controversy depending on whether or not they feature “NIKE” and “NIKE AIR” branding like their inaugural pairs or “JORDAN” and Jumpman logos. Nevertheless, the line is alive and well, having helped its subsidiary achieve its first $1 billion revenue quarter in the second quarter of the 2020 fiscal year. (The brand’s best-selling release of all-time was 2019’s Jordan 11 “Bred”.)

Over the past 38 years, the Air sneakers Jordan range has hosted high-profile collaborations with UNDEFEATED and Supreme, among others. In recent years, collaborative efforts have garnered unprecedented attention. These include pairs co-created with Virgil Abloh’s OFF-WHITE, Travis Scott, UNION LA, and J BALVIN. Furthermore, athletes the Men of Ray Allen, Mike Bibby, Carmelo Anthony, and Russell Westbrook have received special Friends & Family and Player Exclusive (PE) pairs, which have only contributed to Air sneakers Jordan’s legend.
