THE HISTORY OF THE AIR JORDAN 1

It is the 1 that started it all! The Air Jordan 1 not only set up the path for Jordan Brand. It also helped to set up the path for sneaker culture as we know it today.

The 1 That Started It All

The Air Jordan 1 was designed by Peter Moore and was released in 1985. The release was tied to Michael Jordan’s rookie season in the NBA. The design of the Jordan 1 was rather simple and consistent with the other basketball shoes of the era. The Jordan 1 lacked the sophisticated technology that the Jordan Brand would be known for with later installments. Nike was dedicated to giving Michael Jordan his own shoe and brand to grow with. That commitment is clear when you view the shoe’s distinctive logo. Moore designed a wings symbol, a precursor to the Jumpman logo, which was placed on the upper ankle of the shoe.

Flight

Peter Moore was inspired by flight when it came to designing the Wings logo. Obviously, flight made sense when you are talking about “Air Jordan.” Moore was thinking about what the logo should look like while on an airplane. He was deep in thought when he spotted a little kid that was wearing a pin on his shirt. The pin was a pair of captain wings. Moore then stared sketching the Wings logo. He added the basketball to make it uniquely Air Jordan.
