About the Nike Jordan Shoe |

Nike’s creative designer, Peter Moore, took on the challenge of designing Michael Jordan’s signature shoe, which started with the Air Jordan logo. Moore sketched out the famous Air Jordan wings on a napkin on a flight, after seeing a kid wear a pair of replica pilot wings. Through this sketch, Moore realized his vision in creating a shoe for a high-flying athlete like Jordan. In sharing and deliberating initial logo and sneaker sketches, Jordan requested for a shoe that was different and exciting to wear. Something revolutionary enough to boost the reputation of Jordan and even the reputation of Nike. The release of the first Jordan shoe in 1985, April that truly propelled the Jordan brand to new heights. The first Jordan shoe, the Nike Air Jordan 1, was an instant hit, kicking off modern sneaker collecting as we know it. In fact, it was so popular that Nike continued to make new Air Jordan models each season. The tradition has continued beyond Jordan’s retirement, and Nike is currently on the Nike Air Jordan 37.
