Nike Japan has a track record of producing some of the brand’s greatest colorways, and that trend started with this four sneaker release.

But even still, we never would’ve gotten there without the 1! The Air Jordan 3 might’ve been designed by Tinker Hatfield but it took design elements originally sketched out by Moore, and it’s probably second to the Jordan 1 for that very reason, as it combined design elements from two sneaker legends - creating something greater than the sum of its parts. We have the late Peter Moore to thank for that, who not only designed the Jordan 1 and 2 but also gave us the branding associated with the Air Jordan family, from the original wing logo on the 1 to the Jumpman which debuted on the 3. With 36 different designs in its lineage, the fact that the Jordan I still tops the list of many people’s favorite sneaker silhouette is a testament to its design. Aside from being emblematic of basketball’s most iconic player, the Jordan I also set the stage for the full lineage of Jordans, which as of 2022 consists of 36 individual sneakers. For good reason, too - the sneaker single-handedly created sneaker culture as we know it when it first dropped to the public on April 1st, 1985. Say the word “sneaker,” and most people are going to conjure up images of their favorite AJ1. In the nearly 40 years since the Air Jordan 1s inception, the sneaker has solidified itself as the most iconic shoe of all time.
