Air Jordan 1 High
The Jordan 1 High shot to fame back in 1985 when it was classed as a rule-breaking sneaker, due to it going against the league's uniform policy. Despite this, MJ would wear the Air Jordan sneaker, accepting the NBA's $5000 fine which Nike would pay. Fast-forward 35 years and an original pair of the Air Jordan 1 High Tops would fetch $560,000 at auction, a genuinely historical sneaker.
Air Jordan 1 High Tops
When the basketball icon Michael Jordan joined forces with international footwear titan Nike in 1984, a new generation of footwear was born: the Jordan 1 high top. Blending the unique design of the basketball shoe with timeless style, the Air Jordan 1 high changed the streetwear game in 1985 and has been leading the way ever since. Next came the Air Jordan 2 and 3 range (which were successes in their own right) and many more afterwards, but the original Air Jordan 1 collection has never been eclipsed. The Nike Air Jordan 1 high top range is the closest in design to the high-top shoes of the basketball court, with Jordan 1 mids being only slightly lower, and Jordan 1 lows looking more like a standard trainer. When it comes to bold yet classic style in a wide range of contemporary designs and colour combinations, you cannot go wrong with the Jordan 1 High.
Jordan 1 Highs For All Sneakerheads
But aren’t Air Jordans only for men who play sports? The short answer is no, absolutely not. While the original Air Jordans were designed with the mens Jordan market in mind, Nike now offers the womens Jordan 1 range – including the popular Air Jordan 1 Retro High Satin Snake Chicago Womens – as well as the junior Jordans range for children. Many people see Air Jordans as unisex, everyday footwear, which can be dressed up or down for different occasions. Whatever your colour preferences, style, gender, or age, there's a pair of Jordan highs with your name on them - we even offer junior Air Jordans for the aspiring young sneakerheads!
Air Jordan 1 High Colourways
High Air Jordan 1s are available in a wide range of colourways, with more designs being released regularly. The original Air Jordan high combination with red Jordans is still a popular choice, as well as the tried and tested white Jordans. but today you have the choice of just about every colour you can think of from grey, purple or green. For those who favour the old school look, you might even want to consider one of the Retro designs of the 1980s or 90s such as the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Lucky Green.
