- Air Jordan I
The Air Jordan 1 was designed by Peter Moore.[2] The Air Jordan 1 was first produced for Michael Jordan in 1984, in a red and black colorway to match the uniform of the Chicago Bulls, the team for which Michael Jordan played. This red and black color-way was later outlawed by NBA Commissioner David Stern for not having any white on them. Michael Jordan would wear the shoes anyway, and each time he stepped on the court with the Air Jordan 1 he would be fined five thousand dollars. Nike used this as a promotional tool in advertisements hinting that the shoes gave an unfair competitive advantage and that whoever wore them had a certain edginess associated with outlaw activities. Nike would later create a colorway with red, white, and black which would be worn by Jordan for most of the 1985 and 1986 season.
The Air Jordan I was originally released for public consumption from 1985 to 1986. Then released in 1994, 2001-2004, and 2007-2014.
