Oklahoma Sooners Air Jordan 13 Custom Name Personalized Shoes
Way back in 1985, before he was the greatest, Michael Jordan was a skinny kid from the University of North Carolina. Taken pick three in that year’s draft, Jordan was expected to produce big things, both on and off the court. He signed a five-year endorsement deal with Nike, worth reportedly $2.5 million (plus royalties). While it sounds like peanuts compared to the monstrous paychecks athletes receive now, it bears reminding that this was 1985 and the player in question had yet to play a game, let alone prove his worth. But this was no ordinary rookie.
Over the course of the season, Mike dominated, finishing as the Rookie of the Year, but amongst the fans, he was MVP. His signature tongue-out play style and youthful arrogance was the perfect blend of Johnson’s speed and athleticism and Bird’s skill and shooting, all wrapped up in a stylish package. Nike’s Peter Moore was responsible for the new kid’s kicks and much like the rookie himself, they didn’t disappoint. The first Jordan shoes, aptly named the Air Jordan 1 was as visually stunning as they were ground-breaking. And to this day, they remain one of the most popular Jordans ever.
The first in the series to feature the familiar Nike Swoosh logo. And predating the Jumpman logo, the OG shoe featured the Wings logo – a basketball with wings stretching from both sides and “Air Jordan” printed above the ball. Basketball folklore will tell you that the Jordan 1 was originally banned by the NBA, but that’s not entirely true. A prototype Red and Black Air colourway, known as the Nike Air Ship was banned by NBA commissioner David Stern for breaching the ’51 per cent rule’, which dictated that footwear must be majority white.
the popular story is that the ban and subsequent $5,000 per game fine didn’t stop MJ from wearing the Air Jordan 1 on-court. Nike recognised the unique marketing opportunity, opting to pay the fine for each time Michael Jordan wore the shoes in-game. Thus, the bad boy, a rule-breaking ethos of the Air Jordans was born.
