Every generation of AJ sneakers has its own special fan base. 1984, 10 In June, Jordan signed an endorsement contract with Nike, and the first AJ sneaker Air Jordan 1 retail version went on sale in September, 1985. As the greatest signature sneaker series in the world, Jordan brand has gone through nearly 32 years (as of June 2007 17), and Air Jordan brand has also produced 3 1 double-front sneakers. They are AJ 1-AJ23, AJ2009(AJ24), AJ20 10(AJ25), aj201(aj26), AJ20 12(AJ27 In which AJ 1, AJ4, AJ5, AJ6, AJ 1 1, AJ 13, etc. Are the most classic, repeated many times.
Air Jordan 1
The birth of AJ 1 marks the beginning of a legendary brand, which is not only a shoe product with excellent functions, but also a cultural symbol. Air cushion technology is built into the midsole to provide better shock absorption effect. There are also many stories about the classic and eternal forbidden color matching of black and red. Air Jordan 1 "Chicago" Chicago's white and red color matching is also an indispensable baby for every bull lover, and it is also a prelude to Jordan's brand legend.
Air Jordan 2
AJ2 is the second generation of combat boots, one of the top 50 shoes in history, and the most precious one in the Jordan series. Designed by Bruce Kilgore, it is divided into two types: middle tube and bottom tube. The production and design in Italy made AJ2 look different from the basketball shoes at that time, but the injection technology used by AJ 2 mentioned by Bruce at that time could only be done in Italy. In addition, AJ 2 is the last Air Jordan to use the "Flying Wing" logo of Air Jordan. The original AJ 2 has become the ultimate goal in the eyes of collectors because of its rare output, high quality and beautiful materials. If you want a pair of AJ 2 with new boxes and brochures from the previous year, I'm afraid you will have to pay an astronomical price. This one is the only one in Jordan series without black color matching. It is said that the second generation of Black Jordan was designed and a sample shoe was produced, but it was not produced in the end. Jordan won the dunk contest on 1987 with these shoes. Unfortunately, wearing these shoes, Jordan injured his ankle after playing only a few games in the 1985-86 season and missed the next 64 games. Jordan returned from injury in March 1986. The collection season of 1985-86 is the most incomplete season in Jordan's career, and the second generation of Jordan has become precious for this reason. In the following 1986-87 season, Jordan continued to wear Jordan II, and won the dunk contest this year.
Air Jordan 3
AJ3 is the third front basketball shoe of Nike Jordan series, which was born in 1987. It can be said that it is the glorious beginning of the whole trapeze series. There are too many intoxicating designs on AJ3, many cracks on the vamp, more vivid Jump man Logo and many other classic design elements that continue to this day, and even still affect the current sneaker design.
Air Jordan 4
Classic visual air cushion window, sharp sports car modeling and classic side supports can all form the picture of AJ4 in your brain. As the fourth generation of Jordan's combat boots, it was born in 1988. It is a very classic one in the AirJordan series, which makes this series have a soul. The Air Jordan 4 upper is famous for its mesh shoelace buckle. AirJordan4 is inextricably linked with AirFlight89 launched in the same year. The same outsole and midsole design provides sufficient shock absorption and lateral support. Although it looks a little heavy now, compared with the air-cushion basketball shoes at that time, the midsole of this series is light enough;
Air Jordan 5
Presumably, many basketball fans have seen the cartoon "Slam Dunk Master", in which Rukawa Kaede, who is calm and technically comprehensive, wears aj5, which is the childhood dream of many shoe fans. As the fifth generation air Jordan's sneakers, designed by famous designer TINKER HATFIELD, the typical features are the flame graffiti of American Mustang fighter, the huge 3M reflective tongue, the large-area breathable mesh on the side of the shoes and the transparent rubber outsole. As a sneaker, Aj5 is also a fashionable shoe with many colors, so it can be said that each color matching is classic. Aj5 with red and white color matching has long been an absolute classic, and it is affectionately called Rukawa Kaede color matching by sneaker fans.
Air Jordan 6
AJ6 is the sixth basketball shoe of Nike Jordan series, and it is also the basketball shoe that Jordan wore when he won the NBA championship for the first time. Among them, the most classic colors are black, red and Hanamichi Sakuragi. Leading the Bulls to beat the Detroit Pistons, the bad boy, and facing the Los Angeles Lakers led by Magic Johnson on the west coast of the finals, Jordan won four consecutive championships after losing a game, and ushered in a brand-new moment in his career. As Jordan's first pair of NBA champion shoes, the AirJordan 6 midsole also continues the visible AirSole air cushion used in previous generations, but the design style of the AirJordan6 is very beautiful, with a very dazzling and beautiful JumpmanLogo in the center of the tongue, plus the innovative shape of the shoes, which is very exquisite. At the same time, AJ6 also continued the design of plastic shoelaces of AJ5, which was very popular at that time and was almost the "yardstick" for most people to measure the quality of sports shoes at that time. Tiner improved the design of plastic shoelaces used in Air Jordan5, making it more compact, convenient to tie shoelaces, and also played a very good decorative role.
Air Jordan 7
AJ7 undoubtedly has a pleasing design, and its appearance is almost between retro and modern, especially the gorgeous color matching of OG version and the special "9" at the heel, which makes AirJordan7OG naturally exude a noble atmosphere. AJ7 OG is a special pair of shoes, beautiful and mature, when it is reborn as a replica basketball shoe or a pair of semi-tidal shoes. At the same time, like almost all AJ series shoes, it has attracted many fans. At that time, the most advanced Air-Sole was not enough to provide adequate buffer protection. The original oxidation-prone midsole and semi-ideal design outsole are both mediocre.
