TheJordan I (1985)
-The Air Jordan I was designed by Peter Moore and marked a new era in
the design of basketball shoes. The black/red model was banned by the
NBA due to NBA color rules and this actually helped to create more
publicity and more interest for the shoes. Whether this was a
marketing ploy from Nike or not, it helped to generate the interest
that, to date, has supported twenty-one different Air Jordan shoes,
numerous retro versions, and limited editions.

The originalAirJordan I came with a double set of laces to match the two colors of
the shoe. For example, the black/red's came with one set of black
laces and one set of red laces. - -The white/black-red and black/red
Jordan I was released as a retro in 1994 and sold very poorly, however
in 2001 they released them again in patent leather and the demand was
much greater. Despite the changing of the times, the Air Jordan line
has managed to survive controversy and changes in fashion while
producing a quality basketball shoe. - -Fact: The Nike Air Jordan I is
one of the most Originaled shoes of the Air Jordan line.
