1985, Nike signed a contract with Jordan and began to build a series of basketball shoes Air Jordan for it. When Nike signed with Jordan, it was still a small company. Perhaps no one would have thought that this signing would change the fate of Nike and even the entire sports industry. There is another interesting episode about this signing. At first, Jordan hoped to sign a contract with converse, because Jordan had been wearing converse basketball shoes during the NCAA competition on behalf of North Carolina, but he was not favored by converse. Converse must have vomited blood when he saw Nike getting more beautiful every day. Finally, in 2003, converse was acquired by Nike.
Description: air Jordan i. 1985 for sale. After a long time, maybe not many people are familiar with it. However, if you have seen Slam Dunk, I believe you will be familiar with him. Yes, this is Hanamichi Sakuragi's second pair of basketball shoes (cherry wood wears red and black). At that time, it cost 65,438+000 yen to wear Jordan's basketball shoes in his rookie season. It was banned by the league from the beginning, because the coach of the Bulls didn't allow God to wear these shoes at that time, because they didn't match the color of the team uniform. david stern even issued a fine to Jordan, the first time 100 dollars. Nike also shook converse's position in basketball shoes for the first time. AJ 1 is made of white, black and red with a hard rubber outsole. There is no scientific content. In fact, these shoes are very heavy, but they are the beginning of an era.
Air Jordan II. Simple design is the main reason why many people are fascinated by it. The logo of winged basketball moved from the vamp to the tongue. The technological content of this shoe is still not high, and it is still a hard and wear-resistant outsole, but the materials used in the upper are very elegant. This sneaker debuted at 1986.
Air Jordan III. 1987 officially came out. This is the real first-generation air cushion shoes. Nike used the visible air cushion for the first time, which is located on the back sole of this shoe. This is also the first time that Jordan series has adopted the trapeze logo, and since then this logo has been officially used in various products of Jordan brand.
: Air Jordan IV. 1988 officially released. The most striking thing about this shoe is its upper: the dynamic flying symbol, and the handwritten flying word is full of jumping feeling. It was this ingenious design that saved Nike and the trapeze brand, because the sales of AJ2 and AJ3 were not very good. Configuration: rear palm air cushion and front palm cushioning rubber.
Air Jordan V. 1989 officially came out. For the first time, reflective materials were used, and Nike's newly developed cleanable mesh cloth and soles were also used. This shoe follows AJ4 technology in function and is more modern and beautiful in appearance. The stripe design on the outside of the forefoot and the Jordan logo on the tongue add a lot of color to it.
Air Jordan6 is unique because the Bulls won the championship in 90-9 1 season. AJ6 put forward the concept of loose buckle of rubber shoelaces for the first time in design. This kind of loose button was very popular at that time. Designers apply it to AJ6 shoelaces, which can easily fasten shoelaces and play a very good decorative role. At that time, the soles were made of advanced translucent rubber soles, which enhanced the grip. If you look closely, you will find that the word "23" is hidden on the shoe body, 2 is the big pattern composed of the lateral support strip of the upper, and 3 is the lowest pattern on the lateral side of the sole.
Air Jordan VII. 199 1 year. Jordan's 9 1-92 season boots. Because Jordan won the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992 in this pair of AJ7s, it is particularly precious in the Air Jordan series. The appearance of AJ7 has some shadow of AJ6, and the biggest feature is that it has many colors. Using the very popular shoelace fixer design at that time, the back palm has an air cushion, the heel is 23 characters, and the sole is composed of various geometric patterns. The trapeze logo on the upper adds a lot of color to the whole shoe.
Air Jordan VIII. 1993 came out. AJ8 embodies the design concept of attaching importance to science and technology at that time. AJ8 has made a major breakthrough in design, the most prominent of which is the cross bonding design of the upper, which enhances the stability of the upper. The midsole absorbs the design idea of running shoes, greatly reduces the rubber material and reduces the weight of shoes. Tongue is made of towel and trapeze logo. The abstract painting patterns on the side of the heel and in the middle of the sole add some artistic colors. Jordan suddenly announced his retirement after three consecutive championships this year. Many fans thought that he would never return to the court, so they decided that AJ8 was Jordan's last pair of shoes on the court, and AJ8 also created a sales record of Nike 1993. Because AJ8 was launched before Jordan retired for the first time, it has special significance in the Jordan series.
Air Jordan IX. 1994 came out. 1In July, 993, Jordan chose to retire because he felt that his basketball career had reached its peak and he should retire. In order to fulfill his father's wish, Jordan joined the baseball league because his father's favorite sport is baseball. So Jordan put on the uniform of the Chicago White Sox and began his baseball career. AJ9 became the only pair of Air Jordan basketball shoes that Jordan didn't wear on the court because he didn't participate in the 2003-04 NBA competition. However, in the movie Slam Dunk in the Air, Jordan wore AJ9, and the other pair was AJ 1 1. 1994 When Jordan retired, people had a question: Will the Jordan series continue? Nike still launched this shoe as scheduled. The design of AJ9 embodies the idea of globalization, because Jordan is not only a hero worshipped by Americans at this time, but also fascinated fans all over the world by his superb skills. The trapeze logo on the heel was put together with the earth for the first time, symbolizing the trapeze flying over the whole earth. The pattern on the sole expresses the meaning of the world in English, Chinese and Japanese respectively, and Chinese is the world. AJ9 aims to make people remember Jordan's flying figure when they can't see him. There is not much innovation in technology: the Air sole air cushion is built in, and the edge of the forefoot has a protruding part to increase stability. It is worth mentioning that at that time, Jordan's jersey in the baseball league was No.45, and Nike issued a limited number of 45 pairs of ninth-generation baseball shoes printed with "No.45". It is estimated that these shoes have become sky-high prices now. At this point, it really entered the golden age of Jordan's basketball shoes.
Air Jordan X. 1995 came out. "I'm Back", after a lapse of 17 months, Jordan returned to the basketball court, and the whole world was shaken by trapeze. The launch of AJ 10 coincides with the launch of Jordan series 10 anniversary, and also marks the birth of a sports brand myth. There has never been a series with players in history that can talk for so long. The most special thing about AJ 10 is its sole, which records the honors and special experiences that Jordan gained from 1985 to 1994, making people respect the flying man again. AJ 10 shows some shadows in the design of modern sports shoes. 1995 is the pinnacle of sports shoes design concept. AJ 10 looks simpler, and the upper doesn't even have the logo of Jordan and Nike. The trapeze logo only appears on the soles and heels. Technically, the built-in air cushion is still used, the shoelace buckle is designed with elastic band, the shoelace is still round, and the lifting ring for lifting shoes is added in the later stage. Besides Jordan, many stars, including Pippen, have worn these shoes.
Air Jordan Xi.1995 came out. AJ 1 1 is not only the masterpiece of Air Jordan series, but also has a far-reaching impact on the whole Nike basketball shoes and even the whole basketball shoes industry. AJ 1 1 Breakthroughly uses patent leather as the upper material, making it a special symbol of high-end basketball shoes. At the same time, the full palm air cushion technology is adopted for the first time, and the full palm carbon fiber support plate is adopted in the midsole, so that the whole pair of shoes can achieve the purpose of shock absorption. (The built-in air cushion may be too soft for inside players, but it is just right for defenders and small forwards. The comfort and quick response are not inferior to any pair of sneakers with full palm zoom technology. ) The outsole of shoes is crystal rubber compressed by synthetic rubber, and the whole sole is transparent and extremely beautiful. The shoe body adopts mesh fiber, which greatly reduces the weight of the whole pair of shoes. AJ 1 1 is the air Jordan series. AJ 1 1 is not only a classic for the development of Air Jordan series and even the whole basketball shoes. We can think that AJ 1 1 is the watershed between old basketball shoes and modern basketball shoes, and it is the most important milestone in the development history of basketball shoes.
Jordan XII Airlines. 1996 is out. Another classic of Jordan series. The biggest feature of this pair of shoes is the unique DURABACK material with natural leather uppers. The whole pair of shoes reached the maximum stability. DURABACK can prevent barefoot sprain when landing, and the shoes are light in weight. It is said that Jordan's requirement is to feel barefoot when wearing it. AJ 12 was also the first pair of Jordan shoes with full palm zoom air air cushion, and all Jordan shoes used later were changed to zoom air. This kind of air cushion is thin and tough, and it is very close to the ground, absorbing strength and rebounding quickly, providing continuous motivation for athletes to run quickly and rebound continuously. At the same time, the full palm carbon fiber support plate is still used, which can reduce the burden on the knees.
Jordan XIII Airlines. 1997 is out. There are indications that the 1997- 1998 season will be Jordan's last season in the NBA, so fans frantically collect anything related to this great man. At this time, Nike officially stripped the Jordan trademark from Nike. As an independent brand, becoming an independent subsidiary means forming a relatively independent brand. The launch of AJ 13 is particularly important. The designer was inspired by African cheetahs. The sole is shaped like the sole of a cheetah. The most noteworthy is the holographic laser icon located on the outside of the upper, which contains: a basketball, the number 23 and the trapeze logo. This has become a highlight of AJ 13. Science and technology: Full-palm zoom air, the midsole still uses a large area of carbon fiber material to provide good support and stability, and the uppers made of leather, synthetic leather and nylon cloth provide better toughness while reducing weight.
Jordan Airlines. 1998 is out. Remember that night? June1June 998 14, Jazz Stadium, Salt Lake City, Utah, Jordan grabbed the ball from Malone and delivered it to the giant standing at the top of basketball. The design inspiration of AJ 14 comes from Jordan's Ferrari sports car. This way of inspiring design inspiration based on real things has had a far-reaching impact on later generations of Jordan shoes. This logo combines the characteristics of Ferrari and trapeze, as well as the iconic vents of Ferrari sports cars that excite fans and fans. This design of the midsole not only provides good support and stability, but also excites fans. More mature full-palm zoom air technology makes the cushioning performance even better. The outsole and herringbone pattern made in wear rubber provide good friction and grip. The weight of AJ 14 is also the lightest since AJ 1 1. Anyway, AJ 14 bears such a swan song, which we will never forget.
Air Jordan XV. 1999 came out. Jordan left, walked off his altar and became a 36-and-a-half-year-old man walking on the golf lawn. However, people's enthusiasm for Jordan series basketball shoes remains undiminished. The design of AJ 15 originated from the F- 15 fighter. The biggest feature is a deformed tongue, which is not close to the upper but opens forward, which immediately reminds people of Jordan's tongue that can never be put in his mouth. The whole pair of shoes adopts shoe cover design, which is convenient to put on and take off. For the first time, rattan woven fabric is used as the upper material, which shows a unique technological level. There is a row of numbers on the back of the shoes, which are 23 (jersey number) 6 (sixth champion) 15( 15 generation) in turn. The sole is a trapeze logo and the words 2. 17 (Jordan's birthday). Technology: Full-palm zoom air provides good shock absorption performance, the front and rear palms are widened, and the middle palm supports the tray to bring more stability. AJ 15 is a pair of shoes that Jordan hasn't worn since AJ9, but AJ 15 is the only pair of Air Jordan basketball shoes that Jordan hasn't worn in official competitions, because Jordan wore a replica of AJ9 in later competitions.
Air Jordan XVI. 200 1 released. Although Jordan left the court, he could not do without his beloved basketball, so he became the boss of the wizards, and the myth of Jordan series basketball shoes continued. When I meet AJ 16 for the first time, I will feel deja vu. The patent leather toe is from AJ 1 1, indicating that the air cushion and mesh material are from AJ5 and the translucent outsole is from AJ6. What is important is that this is not a simple imitation, but a bolder innovation and continuation of these classic designs, the most important of which is the detachable magnetic shoe cover design and the brand-new Blow-molser Air air cushion. The detachable magnetic shoe cover is very clever in design. Removing the shoe cover reduces the weight of AJ 16, increases the permeability and flexibility, and is more suitable for playing ball. AJ 16 with shoe covers has a strong sense of integrity, novel appearance and fashionable atmosphere. Just like an athlete who just galloped on the field, he suddenly put on a straight suit and shuttled between office buildings. If you look closely, you will find that the word Jordan on the outside of the midsole is composed of 16 pattern, and there are 3/4 palm window air cushions on the midsole. In fact, the same layer is added to the midsole to match the Blow-molser Air air cushion in the back palm, and the overall feeling is great. Science and technology: the upper made of mesh material, suede and leather has better breathability and toughness; The thickened design of the shoe mouth makes the shoes close to barefoot and get an excellent sense of wrapping; Full palm carbon fiber bearing tray is firm and stable; The front palm is equipped with Zoom Air air cushion, and the back palm is equipped with Blow-molser Air air cushion, which has a good sense of speed and cushioning. At the same time, the height of the shoes is reduced to a certain extent, so that the soles stick to the ground and get the best sense of space.
Air Jordan XVII, released in 2002. The design of AJ 17 is inspired by jazz and British Aston Martin cars of pure aristocratic descent. The first impression of AJ 17 is luxury. This is the first time in the history of sports shoes to install the embossed trapeze logo on the metal shoe box. This determines that AJ 17 is different from other Jordan shoes. Sure enough, the price reached 200 dollars, reaching the peak of the price of sports shoes. AJ 17 continues the shoe cover design of AJ 16. There are two rows of shoelace holes on both sides of the vamp, and the outer shoelace holes are used to buckle shoe covers. The material is made of fabric material and synthetic leather with excellent toughness. Science and technology: AJ 17 has excellent performance with the new Blow-molser Air air air cushion in the front palm, lightweight Phylon midsole in the whole palm and TPU load-bearing tray. In the middle of the shoe, the looming trapeze logo in the blue TPU layer and the word Jordan on the silver heel stabilizer are classic designs with both performance and appearance.
Air Jordan XVIII. It was released in 2003. In the 2002-2003 season, Jordan repeatedly stressed that this was the last season of his career. Due to injury and age, it's really time for the old flyer to explain his career. He also knew that AJ 18 would be his last pair of boots, so Jordan personally participated in AJ 18 from beginning to end. If AJ 17 shows Jordan's kingly demeanor and aristocratic temperament. Then AJ 18 explains the maturity and wisdom of a 40-year-old man. The whole kid was covered on the shoe body, and there was no trace of stitching on the upper. In addition, the hidden shoelace system makes the upper feel excellent as a whole. The design of the tongue is quite novel. The top of the tongue is connected with the skin on the vamp through a powerful magnet, which ensures the integrity of the shoe body and hides the shoelaces. Metal mesh material is designed on the tongue and barefoot sides, which provides good support and ventilation. The thickened design of the shoe mouth and the application of lycra fabric bring more comfort. Science and technology: AJ 18 has reached the peak of Jordan series with its full palm Zoom Air air cushion, independent rear palm Zoom Air air cushion unit, lightweight Phylon midsole, full palm TPU bearing tray and new CCCP technology. AJ 18 is Jordan's last pair of shoes on the field, which has reached the extreme of Air Jordan series in both performance and appearance.
Air Jordan 19. Black mamba snake, the most poisonous and fastest snake in the world, lives in Africa. This is the design inspiration of AJ 19. The black mamba snake can chase its prey as fast as 19km/h, and once people are bitten by it, the mortality rate is nearly 100%. If the design concept of AJ 14 is a metaphor for the speed and dexterity of the panther, then AJ 19 can be said to absorb the physical quality of the black mamba snake and the toxicity of the opponent's death. These two different animals are a complete metaphor for Jordan's style on the court. AJ 19 is mainly snake, so it is full of snake essence. The most unconventional design of this pair of shoes is the snakeskin-shaped woven shoe cover on the surface of the sneakers. Since AJ 16, the shoelaces of Jordan shoes are always covered by something, and AJ 19 is no exception. The upper is basically covered by a plastic woven belt. Different from the previous three generations, the cover concept of AJ 19 has been completely refreshed. Because the plastic woven fabric draws lessons from the design of snakeskin, it won't produce more wrinkles during exercise, which will affect the feeling of feet, and the whole shoe cover will automatically twist with the deformation of feet. Because of its toughness, the hard plastic fiber that constitutes the shoe cover can prevent the upper from being excessively deformed, which not only plays a role in protecting the foot surface from being injured by excessive deformation, but also does not hinder any reasonable movement of the user's foot surface during sports because of its toughness.
Air Jordan XX exudes a strong retro style, simple and fashionable. The whole shoe looks heavy but smooth. If you pay attention to the details, you can find that the shoe body is obviously pieced together, and there is a shadow of Hurache 2K4 on the ankle. The shoe body part seems to draw lessons from the design of Jordan II, and the double shackle is repetitive. The heel part has elements of the retro series of puma shoes, and the sample of the upper is the most eye-catching place. A vamp with laser pattern, it is not difficult to find that almost all previous Air Jordan shoes, including Jordan No.45, and even the classic Ferrari logo on AJ 14, were scanned on the shoes by laser.
Air Jordan 2 1. This is another peak work in 2006. We continue to use AJ20 IPS air cushion, adding a layer of ZOOM to the back palm, and the sole adopts spiral pattern and double-layer pattern, which has excellent anti-slip effect. AJ2 1 is designed according to the legendary point 2 1 and has a large area of carbon plate. The design of AJ2 1 basketball shoes continues the simple division of Air Jordan series. The whole pair of shoes is full of streamline, and high heels and inner boots can provide good protection for ankles. The midsole of AJ2 1 uses a large area of carbon plate, which reduces the material of the outsole at the arch of the foot, reduces the weight, and can provide good balance. AJ2 1 Let fans and shoe fans feel the charm of the latest generation of air Jordan sneakers for the first time.
Air Jordan XXIII. It was released in 2007. The appearance design of AJ22 gives people a feeling of deja vu-yes, this is because the appearance design adopted by AJ22 is very similar to the previous sneaker named Nike Jumpman J'Madness, and it is also a design concept focusing on the heel of sneakers, and it is also an eye-catching design strategy with a simple design style, but the difference is that the detail design of AJ22 is more refined than that of Nike Jumpman J'Madness.
Michael Jordan XXIII. From rock parks to boulevards, from Hollywood to Wall Street, Michael Jordan basketball shoes have always been the most popular luxury sports basketball shoes. Shoe lovers regard this sneaker as the driving force behind the collection of "sneaker collectors". After the improvement of 22 sports shoes, the Jordan brand has launched "the greatest basketball shoes in history", and Air Jordan XXIII has once again become the focus of attention all over the world. Tinker once said that AJ22 has been designed in advance, and we should set aside enough time to design and develop AJ23. Initially, the 23rd was an extremely special number for Jordan himself. Full palm zoom air plug unit provides excellent shock absorption. The shoe bone support plate made of carbon fiber material increases the structure and support of important parts. TPU insole with excellent performance increases stability and support. Keep the player's feet as close as possible and feel the ground of the court. The shoe bone bearing plate is directly padded into the TPU insole mold, and TPU is directly pressed on the whole bearing plate. This is the most effective manufacturing process, because it can increase durability, reduce waste and reduce the use of solvent-based adhesives. This is the innovation of functional shoes. The advanced cushioning system includes a low-barrel IPS system, which is equipped with a large buffer in the heel and combined with the low-barrel improved IPS in the forefoot. Light weight 15 oz (about 425g) is one of the basketball shoes with the smallest midsole thickness (heel 19mm, forefoot 9mm). Finger pattern friction embossing with MJ on outsole. The toe has MJ's signature. MJ's thumb is printed on the back of the tongue lining. The precise stitching shows the suede stitching on the outside of the heel. Hand-made MJ stitch patterns highlight exquisite details and functional gray/white/blue color matching is a limited edition, which will be sold in limited quantities on June 25th, 65438. Nike stores in big cities have them, and each store is limited to 23 pairs. The white/red/black color scheme is an all-star version, which went on sale on February 16. The all-black color scheme is a public release version, which will be available on February 23rd. According to internal information of Nike clerk, the color matching of black will not exceed 1500 pairs. It is rumored that this will be the last pair of newly designed Air Jordan basketball shoes, and Nike will only launch new color matching replicas of Air Jordan series every year.
