JORDAN 1 RETRO

The legacy of the Jordan Brand sneaker is largely made up of the iconic moments throughout the illustrious career of one of the greatest athletes in history. It could be said that Michael Jordan was the origin of basketball as we know it today. Throughout a passionate and storied career, the tireless MJ overcame challenge after challenge and redefined the relationship between basketball and style.In 1984 at Madison Square Garden it was the sixth preseason game that the Bulls had played, where Michael Jordan wore a black and red shoe for the first time. In those times, players had to wear shoes that matched their uniforms and the shoes of their teammates. For which MJ generated a $5,000 fine every time he wore the shoes on the court. It is with this unabashed charisma that the iconic Air Jordan was born.Now Nike presents the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Defiant “Couture” inspired by this event and the “Banned” model. Outfitted in more luxurious leather than usual, it features a primarily black upper that comes anchored by a red bar that covers its Swoosh and revives MJ’s defiance.
