We are happy to announce that we now have game worn Air Jordan I's, signed by the greatest basketball player himself. They were first worn by Michael Jordan on November 17, 1984. This was during his rookie season, in which he won rookie of the year. At the time the NBA had a strict shoe policy that forced players to wear only white shoes. Jordan had to pay a $5,000 dollar fine for every game that he wore the red, white, and black sneakers. The shoes were designed by Peter C. Moore to match the Chicago Bulls color scheme. The shoes became very popular and launched the Nike Jordan shoe brand. People started to believe that the shoes themselves game Michael an advantage on the court and Nike ran with it as a marketing plan. These classic basketball shoes sported the simple nike swoosh but later Air Jordan models had the now famous jump man logo. Every year since, Jordan releases new shoes that people line up for. Michael won six NBA Championships in Chicago and has made the Chicago Bulls one of the most popular franchises in the league and the Air Jordan the top selling basketball shoes.
