Nike's lifetime partnership with the basketball legend was initiated in 1984 and offered public a signature sneaker line.
The Air Jordan sneaker lineage was debuted with the launch of Air Jordan 1 in 1985, which is currently one of the most hyped up and popular sneaker model. The silhouette was designed by the Swoosh label's veteran Peter Moore, who also designed the beloved Dunk silhouette. The Jordan label's site introduces the heritage of the Air Jordan 1 sneaker model as follows:
"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."
The lineup for Air Jordan 1 will be extended with the launch OG "University Red" makeover as a Fall 2023 offering. The pair comes clad in a "White / University Red" color scheme. The upper of the shoe will be constructed out of leather material, with the base being clad in white.
The white hue will make up the perforated toe boxes, forefoot overlays, mid-panels, heel counters, midsoles, nylon tongue, and plain cotton laces. The white hue contrasts with the vibrant red detailing upon the heel tabs, "NIKE AIR" tongue tab branding, and the swooshes on both medial and lateral profiles.
The red hue is continued upon the mesh lining and the rubber outsoles. The red heel tabs feature the iconic winged-basketball logo branding in a white embroidery. The Air Jordan 1 Low "University Red"' sneakers are slated to be released via the official e-commerce site of Nike and select retailers on October 13, 2023, for $140.
