Air Jordan 1 High, Mid and Low: everything about the legend

1985: the birth of the Air Jordan 1

It all starts in 1985. Nike signs a young Chicago Bulls guard called Michael Jordan and asks Peter Moore to design his very first signature shoe. The Air Jordan 1 rides along with a historic season: Jordan is named Rookie of the Year and stamps his style on the game. A legend grows around the shoe, the story of a sneaker supposedly banned by the NBA for its daring colours, which Nike turned into a famous ad campaign. Forty years on, the Air Jordan 1 is the starting point of the whole Jordan line and the most influential sneaker in the culture, from court to street.

Air Jordan 1 design and technology

The Air Jordan 1 silhouette is brilliantly simple: a leather upper built from overlapping panels, an oversized Nike Swoosh, a padded collar and, on the High, the famous Wings logo drawn by Peter Moore. Underfoot, an encapsulated Nike Air unit in the heel provides cushioning, while the pivot-circle outsole delivers grip built for basketball. That clean design invites every play on materials and colour, from smooth leather to suede. Retro High OG pairs stay true to the 1985 proportions, the Mid offers a mid-height collar and the Low brings a relaxed low profile.

Black Toe, Chicago, Banned: the iconic colourways

Some Air Jordan 1 colourways are pure history. The white, red and black Chicago wears the Bulls colours, the black and red Bred fuels the banned-shoe legend, and the Black Toe plays on a contrasting black toe box. At noirfonce.eu you will currently find the High OG in Black Toe, Shattered Backboard, Love Letter or UNC to Chicago, plus the Low OG in Chicago, Sail, Banned, Floral Swoosh and Laser. Shattered Backboard pays tribute to the backboard Jordan smashed during a 1985 exhibition game in Trieste, Italy, with its unforgettable orange and black hits.

High OG, Mid or Low: how to style Air Jordan 1 sneakers

The Air Jordan 1 goes with almost everything, and that is its strength. The High OG looks sharp with straight raw denim or cargos tapered at the ankle, ideally laced loosely for an authentic 80s feel. The Mid slips easily into an everyday wardrobe. The lighter-looking Low is perfect with shorts, chinos or a relaxed suit when the sun is out. Let your style decide: neutral colourways like Sail or Black Toe for versatility, bold tones like Chicago or Banned to make the pair the centrepiece of your outfit.
