Description
Back to Number One When it comes to respecting athletic footwear history, countless sneakerheads choose the Air Jordan I Retro OG high-top as their homage to heritage. Its prototype, the Nike Air Ship, was banned by the league in 1984 due to its non-traditional, non-official color treatment. The original AJ I hit the court the following year, bringing with it a distinct outlaw appeal that caught on immediately. And its allure hasn’t declined since. True to Tradition The OG designation of this sneaker simply means that it’s as close to the original as possible in construction and visual treatments. Other updated models include later features like the Jumpman icon and a variety of upper heights. But this sneaker’s high-top profile, Air Jordan Wings logo, tongue design, and color treatment are all faithful to the first release in 1985. Durable leather upper with toe top perforations for breathability. Padded collar offers extra support and comfort. Air-Sole unit in heel provides superb cushioning. Rubber cupsole with encapsulated Air adds cushioning. Solid rubber sole with deep flex grooves provides grip on various surfaces.
