Air Jordan 1 is the pioneer of Air Jordan brand. It was first released in 1985 and it was an early work of Peter Moore, possibly the great sneaker designer in the world. Ever since the creation of it, there was an “Air Jordan fashion” all over the world. And to this day, Air Jordan has become the most popular sneaker brand in the world.
The first show of Air Jordan 1 shoes can trace back to in 1985 when Michael Jordan made his debute with a pair of strange shoes. When he entered into the stadium, he has won all the attention of the crowd. Before that there was not a single player who dared to wear a pair of strange shoes with dazzling colourway. At that time this practice was permitted by the Association which published a rule that the color of team should be uniform, that was to say the color of the team’s jersey and shoes should be the same. As a result, Michael Jordan had to pay a fine every game. At the first, the fine was only $50 also, but in consideration of the sensation the strange shoes have aroused, the fine was raised to $1000 per game. Even so, the strange shoes were rather popular among young people as the shoes were widely regarded the representative of their rebel and personality. That resulted in a big increase to Nike’s turnover.
Originally, Nike’s contract with Michael was to reverse its embarrassing conditions, but he brought a great vigor to Nike unexpectedly. After the release of Air Jordan 1, Nike made up the deficits and made profit. What is more, a fresh sneaker brand-Air Jordan coming into being and gradually established itself as the most popular sneaker brand.
This off-white and red Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi KO was released on March 20th, 2010 at select retailers including Kinetics Tokyo. When I saw the pictures, I was shocked. It reminds me a pair of air Jordan 1 J1-066 in Bigtimekicks.com. They are very similar in the colorway but made in different materials. Both of them are in the red swash, very fresh white color. But the new release is made of the canvas and the one in Bigtimekicks I’ve seen years ago is made of PU leather.
I was glad to see Jordan Brand drop the Air Jordan 1 in this spring, of course I get my idea what I have to arrange for myself this season now. Definitely I will purchase the Air Jordan 1 J1-066 and welcome the new Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi KO.
