Air Jordan I
Designed by indeterminate and released in 1985, the Air Jordan I pair of sneakers was considered a breakthrough in basketball shoe design[1], although its design was improved upon later with the Nike Dunk. The shoe initially gained a great deal of publicity and interest when the National Basketball Association disallowed usage of the shoe during games becauase its vibrant black and red color violated the league's uniform rules and fined Michael Jordan five thousand dollars every time he wore the shoes during a game. Nonetheless, other shoe companies scrambled to emulate the design and introducing knock-off brands of the Air Jordan line.
In 1984, the white/black-red and black/red colorways were introduced but sold very poorly[citation needed]. Many went on sale for as low as $20 in stores[citation needed]. Howevever when the Air Jordan I model was reintroduced in 2001, they sold out instantly.
The first appearance of the Air Jordan I was on November 17, 1984 in a game between the Chicago Bulls and the Philadelphia 76ers.[citation needed] The first colors unveiled were the banned black/red design, due to a violation within the leagues uniform policy regarding its lack of support[2]. It was announced later that Nike would release them to the public the following spring.[citation needed]
In 2007, the re-retro Air Jordan I model were released, one of which was the "Beginning Moments Package" (BMP) or "Old Love, New Love" and included a re-retro of the extremely rare white/black-red black-toe colorway.[citation needed]
On March 29, 2008, a Retro 1 tribute to Jordan's baseball days with the Birmingham Barons were released. The shoes were a quickstrike release. Highlighted by white pinstripes on the black shoe, and black pinstripes on the white shoe, it was created to look like the Barons' uniform.[citation needed]
