Air Jordan 1 High, the story
When his agent David Falk proposed to the major sports brands of the time to manufacture for the rising star Michael Jordan a shoe in his name, Puma, Adidas and Converse preferred not to embark on this project with uncertain returns. Nike however accepted the bet. In 1985, the very first version of the Air Jordan 1 High made of red and black was created from scratch by Peter Moore, then designer of Nike. The NBA, which saw it as a challenge to the established order of white and black officials, took it personally and banned the use of this new AJ1 High sneaker on the court by the star. Nike took advantage of this unexpected prohibition to launch this ad, which designated the NBA as the enemy and called for popular disobedience. The slogan was to show the NBA that it did not control the street, even more so when you consider that Michael defied the ban at every game for a $5,000 fine. In those early days, the signature of Jordan signature on the Swoosh was the "Wings" logo, also designed by Moore. In 1992, the Jordan Brand, the Jordan brand created since 1988 finally imposed the jumpman logo on all new shoes and versions of the Jordan High. The aj 1 High as its name indicates is the Air Jordan of superior quality. However, there are two other versions just as well worked to satisfy all purchasing powers. They are the Air Jordan 1 Mid and the Air Jordan 1 Low.
