The Air Jordan 1 is often credited with shaping the sneaker industry as we know it today. Introduced by Michael Jordan and Nike in 1985, its release laid the foundation for Jordan Brand.  Over the decades, it has transcended its origins as a performance shoe to become a cultural icon, a silhouette recognizable worldwide and associated with timeless style and athletic achievement. And, in 2025, it’s set to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
