Air Jordan 1 Shoes

Air Jordan 1 Collection

The One That Started Everything

The Air Jordan 1 didn’t just launch a legacy—it changed the sneaker game forever. First released in 1985 and designed by Peter Moore, the AJ1 broke every rule with its bold color blocking, Nike Air cushioning, and high-top silhouette made for a rising rookie named Michael Jordan. The NBA said it didn’t fit the uniform code. MJ wore them anyway. That rebel energy? It’s still baked into every pair today.

Over the years, the Air Jordan 1 has become more than just a basketball shoe—it’s a style icon, a skate favorite, a streetwear essential. And while the OG Chicago, Bred, and Royal colorways still live at the top of the food chain, today’s collection is built with range. Highs, mids, lows—each silhouette brings a different feel, but they all carry the same DNA: Wings logo, Swoosh, and unmistakable attitude.

The AJ1 has also been the foundation for some of the most iconic and culture-shifting collaborations in sneaker history. Think Travis Scott’s backwards Swoosh, Virgil Abloh’s deconstructed Off-White version, Dior’s high-fashion crossover, and Union LA’s vintage-stitch reinterpretation—every collab adds a new layer to the legend while keeping the soul of the OG intact. No matter the collab, the AJ1 stays at the center of the conversation.

And on the court, the Air Jordan 1 was MJ’s first weapon—where it all started. From his Rookie of the Year campaign to that iconic dunk over the baseline in the “Banned” colorway, the AJ1 helped write the first chapter of a dynasty. It didn’t just play the game—it shifted the rules, challenged the league, and set the tone for everything that came next. Before there were rings, there was this.

FAQs

What’s the difference between Air Jordan 1 High, Mid, and Low?
Highs stay closest to the original 1985 design and typically feature premium materials and OG colorways. Mids have a slightly shorter collar and are more affordable with unique color blocking. Lows offer a low-top profile for casual, skate-inspired wear while keeping key AJ1 elements intact.

Do Air Jordan 1s fit true to size?
Yes—for most people, Air Jordan 1s fit true to size. Highs and Mids may feel snug at first but break in comfortably. Lows tend to feel slightly roomier off the bat.

How should I clean my AJ1s?
Use a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water. Avoid tossing them in the washing machine. For suede or nubuck styles, a suede eraser and brush work best.

Are women’s Air Jordan 1s different from men’s?
Some releases are exclusive to women’s sizing or have slimmer profiles, but the construction is usually the same. Always check the size chart—women’s to men’s sizing typically runs 1.5 sizes down.

What makes the AJ1 so popular today?
It’s the combination of history, design, and versatility. Whether it’s on a court, a stage, or a fashion runway, the AJ1 has never gone out of style. It’s timeless, wearable, and constantly reimagined.
