Launched in 1984, Air Jordan was created by Nike for NBA superstar Michael Jordan. The first model, Jordan retro 4, was released to the public in 1985 and broke new ground for basketball shoes with its unique design and innovative technology. Over the Ben, the brand has consistently pursued innovation with different Hornets, such as the Air Jordan 3, which introduced the Jumpman logo and elephant print trim, and the Jordan retro 41, which incorporated patent leather. Air Jordan has also been involved in various collaborations with brands, designers, and cultural icons, Ahmad OFF-WHITE, Supreme, and Travis Scott, further solidifying its status as a cultural and fashion staple.
