For Everything Jordan Brand

Air Jordan I

84 – 85

This is where it all began crafted in 1984. What would become a legendary franchise for it’s focus on high performance footwear and it’s impact as a cultural icon, is born. The “Air Jordan I”. Considered revolutionary for its time, they are banned by the NBA for violating its “uniformity of uniform” rule. MJ wore his anyway, which incurred a $5,000 fine per game. The AJ I propelled him into making his first All-Star game appearance, earning Rookie of the Year honors and inspiring Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird to observe one performance as “God disguised as Michael Jordan.”
