Here are seven of the most iconic Nike Air Jordans that the basketball legend himself wore over the years
The iconic Air Jordan line launched in 1984. The name "Air Jordan" was proposed by Michael Jordan's agent, David Falk. The brand name was a nod to Jordan's knack—dunking on air. This inspired Peter Moore to sketch the first-ever Air Jordan logo depicting a basketball with wings. Now, that logo has become a familiar sight for both sneakerheads and basketball enthusiasts. By 1984, Michael Jordan became the first basketball player to collaborate with a brand to create a new shoe line.
After all these years, the Air Jordans remain one of the most coveted sneakers worldwide. While some obsess over Air Jordans for their style, others admire them for their sentimental value. Some of these sneakers have been worn by the basketball legend himself in the past which makes it all the more special.
Here are the top seven iconic sneakers you'll love that Jordan himself donned in the past and have been re-released recently:
1. Jordan 1 Mid Heat Reactive Color Change
Most sneakerheads might easily dismiss Air Jordan Mids. There's a universal agreement among many shoe fans about the mids being less stylish; it's either you wear Jordan highs or lows. Others tend to look down on Mids because it often isn't worth much.
But Michael Jordan himself seems to believe otherwise when he pulled up on the basketball court wearing the Jordan 1 Mid Heat Reactive Color Change. To say the least, the internet went crazy as it fueled the flame between Mid-haters and Mid-lovers. Admittedly, Jordan made them look cool and that's all that matters!
