Michael Jordan kickstarted his partnership with Nike in 1984 and forever altered both the fashion and basketball worlds, merging them with an iconic pair of sneakers. The duo debuted their Air Jordan 1 sneaker model in 1985. Since then, the pair has continued to receive uncountable makeovers and collaborations.

The Air Jordan 1 silhouette is one of the most beloved sneaker models for Jordan fans and enthusiasts. The signature silhouette has ruled the sneaker sphere for almost four decades. The shoe popularity can be credited to Michael Jordan's legendary exploits as a basketball player. The site describes the partnership:

"Along the way, Jordan redefined basketball's relationship to style, the sport's connection to youth counter-culture and the game's creative potential. Like Jordan himself, his eponymous footwear arrived with a bang, sharing its namesake's tradition-breaking bravado.”

The swoosh label site introduces the Air Jordan 1 sneaker model as:

"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 latest Air Jordan 1 Mid "Recycled Grind" sneakers come clad in a "Glacier Ice Citron Pulse / Action Green" color scheme. The upper is constructed out of a mix of leather and nylon material. The glacier ice hue is added across the quarter panels, toeboxes and collars.

The citron pulse shade is added on the panels of mudguards and heel overlays. The action green hue dresses collar overlays and eyestay area. Another hue is added into the mix with the yellow tongue, which contrasts with white laces.

The most prominent detail, though, is the addition of recycled swooshes, which feature splatter paint detailing. Furthermore, the outsoles continues the similar theme with the semi-translucent icy blue recycled construct.

The latest sneaker was released on the e-commerce site of Nike and select retailers in kids sizes including Grade-school sizing for $120, pre-school sizing for $80 and toddler sizing for $65.
