Features of Nike air Jordan shoes
by Administrator |
Air Jordan are a type of shoe made by Jordan brand, a sub-division of Nike, which were created for and endorsed by Michael Jordan. The first Air Jordans were released in 1984 and there has been a new shoe released every year since then, even continuing after Michael Jordan retired from professional basketball. The first Nike air Jordan shoes were called Air Jordan I, and every year the number increases by one. The final Air Jordans will be XXIII or XX3, in honor of his jersey number. The convention for basketball shoes in 1984 was to be all-white, but the first Air Jordans were black and red, which drew a lot of attention to the shoes, and helped make the Air Jordan name famous.
The two major features that set Men's Air Jordan 1 Shoes apart from other sneakers were in the design of the shoe itself, and in the logos printed on the shoes. The earliest shoes, released in 1985, were a leather base in both high top and low top varieties. They were the first shoes to carry the winged basketball that would come to be known as one of two Nike Air Jordan standard logos. This logo would appear on three versions of Nike Air Jordan Shoes, printed on either the side near the ankle or on the tongue of the shoe.
When the fourth version was introduced in 1987 the logo was changed to what was dubbed the 'jumpman' a picture of a basketball player going up for a slam-dunk. This logo appeared on many places depending on the designer shoes. Sides, tongue and sole were all fair game for logo placement and the jumpman appeared on all.
