Hi all and welcome back! Todays #HotOrNot features everyones all time favorite, Air Jordan 1s. As I stated in the What’s in my closet portion, this shoe is definitely one of my top favorites. To be specific my favorite pair of Jordan 1s are known as the Top 3s this shoe includes the statement of Michael Jordan himself being drafted third overall in the NBA’s draft back in 1984. This shoe had to be one of the most difficult items to purchase at retail price when they were first released, but now they are running for more than $400.
The releases of AirJordan 1s tend to sell out within just a couple of hours of them being released. This shoe is offered in three different versions including low-top, mids and the famous high-top. Recently Jordan has been creating many different colorways of this shoe. This is allowing the shoe to be great for any type of outfit or occasion. Females wear them with anything from distressed shorts, baggy mom jeans, and leather pants to males wearing them with sweatpants, graphic tees or a button down polo shirt. Personally I rate this shoe a 10/10 because there are so many different ways you can dress this shoe up and down.
Not only did the shoes created symbolize moments in Michael Jordan’s career but this year was something special. In 1985 this is when Jordan won NBA’s rookie of the year and the first time he ever wore his own shoe. The nickname of the first Jordan’s he ever wore were called Banned this being because the shoes colorway did not match the regulations that the National Basketball Association had. Every time Jordan would wear the pair of shoes he was fined $5,000. This having a complete backwards effect on marketing, causing the first pair of “dead-stock” 1s to run for about $2,000. Originally marketed at $65.99 this shoe was the first debut of what led to Jordans unique history of shoe culture.
