Description

Nike Air Jordan 1 High Original 1985 'Natural Grey' | Size 8.5
The Air Jordan 1, introduced in 1985, holds a storied history deeply intertwined with the legendary basketball career of Michael Jordan. Designed by Peter Moore, this iconic sneaker marked the beginning of the enduring partnership between Nike and Jordan Brand. Its groundbreaking design challenged conventional basketball shoe aesthetics with bold color blocking, the iconic Nike Swoosh, and the distinctive "Wings" logo. Notably, the NBA initially banned the Air Jordan 1 for violating uniform regulations, creating a buzz that catapulted the sneaker into cultural prominence. Undeterred, Michael Jordan continued to wear them, and the ban only fueled its popularity. The Air Jordan 1 transcended its on-court origins, becoming a symbol of self-expression and street style. Over the years, it has seen numerous retros, collaborations, and limited editions, solidifying its status as not just a sneaker but a cultural icon that resonates far beyond the realm of sports.

This slick colorway features a clean white-based leather upper that is contrasted with grey details for the ankle collar, wings logo, Nike Swoosh. This particular pair is in pristine condition, shows minimal signs of aging and the ankle collars are fully intact. The ankle collars show no signs of flaking or chipping, just minor cracking. The rubber midsoles show very minimal aging. The shoes come with the original box and with the original jumpman hangtag. Please refer to the images to view the overall condition of the shoes.

* Due to the age of the shoes, we do not recommend wearing them.
