Nike signed the deal with the legendary basketball player Michael Jordan in 1984, and subsequently the launched the duo's first signature shoe, the iconic Air Jordan 1 sneaker in 1985. The duo altered and permanently linked the sneaker and fashion world with the basketball world as it is one of the most celebrated and recognized shoe models.

Introducing the 1985-debuted Air Jordan 1 sneaker model, the official Nike site states:

"Since his game-winning shot that brought championship glory to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents' will while capturing the imagination of fans worldwide."

The latest makeover to appear over the AJ1 is the "Purple Black." Purple appears to be the color of the season for the take-down Air Jordan 1s in Summer 2023, with many vibrant violet versions releasing ahead in 2023.

Joining the previously-previewed AJ1 Mid “Blueberry”, Air Jordan 1 "Sky J Purple," and Air Jordan 1 Royal Purple, this new women’s exclusive Low continues to build on the brand’s seasonal penchant for purple kicks.

The upper of the shoe is constructed out of leather and the base comes clad in purple leather, which provides the central focal point. The purple hue can be seen accentuated upon perforated toe boxes, mid-panels, and branding details including the winged basketball logo upon the heels.

Another hue is added into the mix with the jet black hue added upon the nylon tongues, liners, laces, heel counters, collars, and forefoot. The look is finished off with a white midsole and purple rubber outsoles.

The pair is rumored to release in Summer of 2023 via the official e-commerce site of Nike, the SNKRS app, and select retailers in kids' sizes
