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 Air Jordan 1 High OG WMNS “Varsity Red” is releasing at Shoe Palace stores and on shoepalace.com this May 31.
Varsity Red
The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Varsity Red” will only be available for Women. The silhouette has an eye-catching colorway that features varsity red and white.
This is a nod to the Bulls but done in a unique and flashy style. It has a white leather base, with black accents on the Swoosh and laces. It comes equipped with the Wings logo on the collar and the traditional Nike Air branding on the tongue.
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.
