Before Michael Jordan's first signature shoe was released in 1985, basketball shoes were simply utilitarian foot coverings, much like baseball, soccer, or football cleats. Air Jordan celebrates the legacy of the eponymous footwear line and Jordan's multi-decade relationship with Nike. Over the years, boosted by Tinker Hatfield's designs, the Air Jordan line elevated those sneakers from sports-only products to streetwear, showing up everywhere from courts to catwalks, influencing pop culture in the process.
