Michael Jordan's eponymous label has continued to win over the hearts of all sneakerheads for almost four decades with the release of iconic colorways, GRs, and collaborations. The label has launched 38 different iterations of the Air Jordan lineage, however, they continue to focus on their first-ever signature sneakers, the Air Jordan 1.

The Swoosh label began its partnership with the legendary player Michael Jordan in 1984 and a year later debuted the Air Jordan 1. The shoe immediately won over the hearts of sneaker enthusiasts due to its iconic wings logo, turning it into a cultural phenomenon.

The shoe debuted for $64.99, and around 1.5 million pairs were sold in the first six weeks. Ever since, the Jordan label has continued to produce some of the most iconic sneakers. The shoe was designed by Peter Moore, a veteran designer who is also credited with creating the Dunk model. The official Jordan label site introduces the Air Jordan 1 sneaker model as follows:

"Since his game-winning shot that brought championship glory to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents."

The latest Air Jordan 1 Mid "Court Purple/Tropical Twist" color scheme is dressed vibrantly in a makeover inspired by the 90s. The shoe's color scheme includes shades of black, white, purple, varsity red, university gold, and aqua blue.

The shoe's upper is constructed out of full leather material and features a perforated toe box to add breathability. The shoe also features mesh tongues and a mesh inner lining for better comfort and breathability. The forefoot of the shoe comes dressed in a black hue, while the base of the upper is dressed in white.

More hues are added into the mix with purple collars, aqua Blue / Teal heel overlays, a Varsity Red winged basketball logo, and Jumpman logo branding on insoles and tongues.
