@ctcrnmoj856: In celebration of Michael Jordan’s birthday today here’s a look back to his first commercial. Jordan’s first sneaker the Air Jordan 1 was released in 1985, at this time a signature sneaker was still relatively rare, especially for a then rookie like Jordan. The now iconic sneakers revolutionized basketball footwear and sneaker culture as a whole. Its bold design, gained infamy due to its “Banned” black and red colorway, which defied NBA uniform regulations, generating controversy and massive hype right away. The shoe’s success helped establish the modern sneaker industry and the then burgeoning sneaker culture, turning basketball shoes into fashion statements and launching the now multi billion-dollar Jordan Brand. #History #jordan #sneakers #80s #nike #sneakerhead #jordan1 #80sfashion #vintagestyle #basketball #NBA #throwback #vintage #nostalgia #fashionhistory #80saesthetic #historical
