JORDAN 1 RETRO BLACK BLUE WHITE SIZE 12 SHOES

There are too many Air Jordan 1s releasing this summer, its official. Of all of the Air Jordan 1 lows, these have received our nod for being one of the best. Maybe its because it was one of the first samples or because of the clear cut similarity to the Air Jordan 13. Whatever the case may be, these are one of the better ones.

Be on the lookout for these to hit stores 5/26. In a 3 week span, there will be 12 pairs of Air Jordan 1s that release starting 5/19. Pics thanks to wesoldout.

The Air Jordan 1 was released in 1985 kicking off not only the greatest legacy in sneakers, but also the greatest legacy in basketball history.

The first round, third overall pick, Michael Jordan, was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the 1984 NBA Draft. Before landing in the NBA, Michael Jordan had a resume that no other player could touch. Jordan excelled in college basketball at North Carolina and helped lead Team USA to a gold medal in the 1984 Olympic Games.

Wearing the Air Jordan 1, Michael Jordan soared in his rookie year. Jordan earned a spot on the All-Star team, finished third in scoring (28.2 ppg), brought back the Bulls back to the playoffs, and not suprisingly was Rookie of the Year.

Nike, a brand having troubles breaking into the basketball market, saw the potential in Michael Jordan as a player as well as a marketing icon and was immediately signed.

Air Jordan Shoes - The Air Jordan Line

Air Jordans were an instant hit thanks to a high flying rookie as well as one of the best marketing campaigns put together by Weiden and Kennedy. Air Jordan sneakers have been the top selling signature basketball shoe that Nike has ever produced.


Despite the fact that Michael Jordan retired from basketball in 2003 (for the 3rd time) Air Jordans are still the top selling models for many sneaker retailers. The legacy of Air Jordans lives on with the release of retro Air Jordans. These are remakes of the classic Air Jordans either in the colors Mike wore back in the day, or slightly modified to match with current trends.

An instant classic. The Air Jordan 1 has as much history as Air Jordan himself. The Air Jordan 1 changed the sneaker game forever with people of all walks of life obsessing over Air Jordans.

One of most sought after Air Jordans of all time is the “Black Toe” Air Jordan 1. This package releases these long lusted shoes as well as another. Two pairs of Air Jordans for $200, how can anyone pass up that deal?!

This package is said to honor Michael Jordan’s two passions - basketball and racing. Termed the “Old Love/New Love” Package, it is said that the Black Toe Air Jordan 1s are Mike’s “Old Love” of basketball and the

Black/Yellow Air Jordan 1s are his “New Love” of motorcycle racing. (Black and Yellow are Team Jordan’s official colors)

Banned Sneakers?



Though many people associate Tinker Hatfield with the Air Jordan shoe line, Peter Moore was the designer of the Air Jordan 1’s. The shoes stood out from the crowd of all other basketball shoes. Not only did the Air Jordan 1 feature a large Nike swoosh logo on the side of the shoe, but the shoe has multiple predoninant colors. Michael Jordan stepped onto the court wearing the Black and Red Air Jordan 1 which was banned by the NBA for not matching the on court dress code. Nike launched a multi-million dollar campaign selling the public that the Air Jordan 1’s were so great that they were illegal and Nike was also more than willing to pay Jordan’s tab of $5,000 per game fine for wearing the Air Jordan 1.



23 flavors



Nike released many colors of the Air Jordan 1 - something that revolutionized the sneaker industry. The Air Jordan 1 was released in 23 different colorways if you include all samples. Many were extremely limited and exclusive to certain areas, but no matter what corner of the globe you were in, there was a huge demand for the Air Jordan 1.



Retro life



The White/Black-Red and Black/Red Air Jordan 1’s were released as “retros” in 1994 right after Jordan announced his retirement and sold VERY poorly. So badly that many pairs hit clearance centers for $19.99 or less (today a brand new pair of these is worth $500+).



In 2001, Nike tried a second round with retroing and the Air Jordan 1 was much more successful. The Air Jordan 1 was retroed in 14 total colorways from 2001-2003.



The Air Jordan 1 is a legendary shoe and is the holy grail of most sneaker collectors because of its history and since it was the first Jordan shoe launched.

Air Jordan 1/I Shoes

Tomorrow, China time, the Air Jordan 1 XQ will release. Only 240 pairs of these shoes will be made available to the public in what will be the most limited Air Jordan release in the history of the brand.

Our friend Air-Randy was lucky enough to get his pair already and will possibly have some more available after the June 1st release.

According to Randy himself, the shoes have great “craftsmanship and detail”. Randy later told us, “these are the best quality Air Jordans of the year that I have seen.”

The whole-sale market price for these is around $800, but when you take into consideration of the special work, China exclusive, and only 240 pairs in the world, you can see how the shoes fetch the high price.

The White/University Blue Air Jordan 1 low was a bit of a late surprise since photos of these shoes surfaced less than 1 month before the release to the public. Though the shoes were only made in women’s sizes, many guys are prepared to purchase the larger sizes. The color scheme, blue tinted clear sole, and images of Michael Jordan make this shoe very similar to the Alpha Air Jordan 1.
